Donald Trump is spiraling ā and this time, itās not just because of the polls, the lawsuits, or the war crime allegations.

Itās because two comedians have turned his presidency into a permanent museum of humiliation.
On one side: Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night host whoās been dissecting Trumpās meltdowns, war crimes, and economic disasters with a scalpel dipped in sarcasm.
On the other: Jim Carrey ā yes, that Jim Carrey ā who quietly built an entire visual archive of Trump-era corruption with a paintbrush and a grudge.
Together, they created something Trump canāt sue, bully, or tweet away: a cultural record.
While Trump is on his chaotic āAsia Paloozaā tour, being handed gold crowns in South Korea like some budget monarch, back home his political world is on fire. MAGA Mike Johnson is stumbling through questions about war crimes off Venezuelaās coast. House Republicans are tying themselves in knots trying to justify a ādouble tapā strike that killed survivors floating in open water. Cabinet officials are leaking war plans in Signal chats. Congress members are openly fantasizing about invading Venezuela āfor the oil.ā
And whatās Trump doing?

Posting. Nonstop.
Hundreds of deranged posts a night ā AI videos of Venezuela āsurrendering,ā bizarre rants claiming Michelle Obama secretly ran the Biden administration, and rage-fueled attacks on anyone who questions him.
Thatās the political backdrop when you rewind to 2017 and watch Jim Carrey quietly light the fuse on his own resistance campaign.
While celebrities were firing off angry tweets, Carrey picked up a paintbrush.
Within two years, heād created over a hundred savage paintings and drawings aimed directly at Trump and his enablers ā and he didnāt hide them in some high-end gallery. He dropped them onto Twitter, week after week, for millions to see.
When he sat down with Jimmy Kimmel in 2018, the country got to see just how far heād gone.
Kimmel flashed the images on screen:
Trump as toast.
Trump screaming into the void.
Robert Mueller literally squeezing Trumpās head like a stress ball.
A grotesque painting of Trump eating ice cream while tweaking his own nipple ā a monstrous visual metaphor for greed and self-indulgence.
Carrey wasnāt subtle, and he wasnāt trying to be.
He painted Sarah Huckabee Sanders and called it āthe portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked.ā He painted Marco Rubio with blood on his hands over NRA money. He painted dead students wrapped in an American flag with the caption twisted from the anthem: āOh, say, canāt you see?ā
These werenāt memes. They were accusations in acrylic.

On Kimmelās couch, the jokes gave way to something quieter and sharper. Carrey said heād been drawing authority figures since he was a kid ā teachers, bosses, power structures. Trump, to him, was just the final boss of that same pattern: a ārabid dogā turning the country upside down, an Orange Julius Caesar marching the US toward the rocks.
āIf you behaved like this anywhere else,ā Carrey said, āyou wouldnāt keep your job in any position.ā
Kimmel didnāt flinch. He gave Carrey the time and platform to say it. The paintings werenāt just therapy; they were warning flares.
Then Carrey took it even further. In 2020, he stepped into Trump world from another angle ā playing Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live, facing off against Alec Baldwinās Trump in a chaotic recreation of the presidential debates. His Biden was wired, exasperated, trying to keep his āinner Whitey Bulgerā in check while Trump screamed over him.
It wasnāt a perfect impression. It was a perfect feeling ā the exhaustion of trying to stay sane while trapped in Trumpās circus.
And then, just as suddenly as heād started, Carrey stepped away.
By 2020, he said his message was delivered. Heād done his part documenting the madness. He didnāt want to live inside it anymore. He walked away from political caricature and started painting⦠mangoes. Fruit of the gods. Abundance. Calm.
Trump, meanwhile, did the opposite. He doubled down on the chaos.
As Jim Carrey moved toward peace, Trump went deeper into rage posts, late-night rants, and war-crime scandals. As Kimmel kept exposing the cruelty ā the shutdowns, the food being cut off, the SNAP attacks, the weaponized tariffs, the fantasy Antifa boogeyman ā Trump kept reaching for bigger lies and harsher enemies.
Thatās the real story MAGA world doesnāt want to talk about:
While Trump tries to rewrite reality in all-caps posts, two comedians ā one with a monologue, one with a paintbrush ā have already written him into history.
Not as a stable genius.
But as a cautionary tale.
