‘Donald Trump's presidency is so bad, its unbelievable,' says Jimmy Kimmel before sharing plans of moving to Italy
Kimmel shared how he has an exit plan for whenever things get too tough during the Trump reign and confirmed that he has in fact obtained the citizenship of Italy. He said, 'I did get Italian citizenship. What's going on [with Trump] is as bad as you thought it was going to be. It's so much worse; it's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.'
Jimmy Kimmel is already on the radar of President Donald Trump, as he promised that his show will be the next to go off air, after CBS cancelled the next season of the Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert.

In the wake of his show getting cancelled, Stephen Colbert makes it a point to talk about whatever Donald Trump has been up to throughout the week, and with the president commenting about which female celebrity is hot and which isn't, Colbert never has to dig too deep to poke fun at him. If Jimmy Kimmel's show does get cancelled, and he decides to leave the country, he will be joining names like Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, who have already packed their rucksacks and moved someplace else. Even though he is ready to take such major steps, Kimmel admitted that he has no problem with the people who supported President Trump during his election against Kamala Harris.
He clarified that he doesn't want to bash people on the basis of who they support and said, 'The door has to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that is so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome to do so.'
Donald Trump has now been attacked by several comedians, talk show hosts, actors, and showrunners of Hollywood for many of his actions, affiliations and the comments he has made while in office.

Ukraine's Alaska agenda: Kiev wants a lasting ceasefire, NATO-backed security, reparations, and sustained sanctions on Russia
As US President Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, August 15, Ukraine hopes for an agreement that will meet its demands of stopping the war and preventing future aggression. But since Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will not attend this meeting, Kyiv fears being left out of negotiations that could decide its fate. Ukraine and its European allies also fear that Friday's Alaska summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could yield a settlement that sacrifices Kyiv's interests for the appearance of peace.

Ukrainian officials say Putin's ultimate goal is not just holding territory but ending Ukraine's independence. These are Kyiv's longstanding demands, which they are eagerly hoping to meet. Live Events A sustainable ceasefire Kyiv insists on a durable ceasefire before discussing any territorial issues, rejecting US suggestions of 'land swaps' involving the Donbas. Zelenskyy says ceding the region would invite future offensives and undermine Ukraine's sovereignty. NATO 's Mark Rutte has floated a possible compromise in which some areas remain under Russian control but are legally recognized as Ukrainian. 'When it comes to this whole issue of territory, when it comes to acknowledging, for example, maybe in a future deal that Russia is controlling de facto, factually some of the territory of Ukraine, it has to be effectual recognition, and not a political de jure recognition,' he told ABC. Russia must pay for the damage Ukraine insists that Moscow must bear the financial burden for the destruction it has inflicted (by starting a war), a toll estimated between $500 billion and $1 trillion in damages to infrastructure, homes, and livelihoods. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, speaking at the Ukraine Recovery Conference last month, underlined this demand: 'Russia must pay for the approximately €500 billion in damages caused. Until this happens, Moscow must not be granted access to its frozen assets.' Ukraine points to the fact that close European allies hold significant Russian state assets, with almost €200 billion frozen in Belgium alone, as a major source of leverage. Kyiv believes these funds must remain inaccessible to Moscow until full reparations are made. Binding security guarantees via NATO and the EU President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made clear that only full membership in NATO and the European Union can guarantee Ukraine's long-term security: A Politico article quotes Zewleanskey, 'Will we be in NATO? In the EU? I haven't heard anything — simply not a single proposal that would guarantee that a new war won't start tomorrow. We need security guarantees that will preserve, first of all, our state, a sovereign state, our independence.' However, Ukraine faces pushback: US President Donald Trump has ruled out NATO membership, a stance quietly backed by some European capitals, and Moscow demands a permanent NATO veto for Ukraine. Zelenskyy also criticizes EU member states that are hesitant to admit a large, poor country with a vast agricultural sector. For now, European partners, not the US, are Ukraine's primary source of military assistance. Since the war began, Europe has provided at least €73.9 billion in military aid, compared to €64 billion from the US, according to the Kiel Institute. Return of abducted children and prisoners of war Ukraine demands the immediate return of nearly 20,000 children, who it says were abducted by Russia. Only 1,453 have been returned so far, often through mediation by Qatar and other states. Moscow claims these transfers are evacuations to safety, but refuses to return the children to their families, instead placing them in adoption systems and subjecting them to Russian propaganda. In 2023, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin over the unlawful deportation of children from occupied Ukraine to Russia. On prisoners of war, there has been more progress: more than 2,000 POWs have been exchanged under Trump's mediation, but thousands remain in Russian custody without access for international human rights monitors. No lifting of sanctions on Russia Kyiv, backed by European allies, demands that existing primary and secondary sanctions remain in place and even be strengthened. They argue that easing sanctions or resuming trade with Russia would allow Moscow to rebuild its war machine. Economist Timothy Ash estimates the war has already cost Russia about $2 trillion, nearly equivalent to its annual GDP. The risks for Ukraine are clear. As he told Politico, 'Ukraine could survive the war, but not survive the peace,' if a bad deal undermines its security and sovereignty.

Hard-hit export sectors need govt support: Icrier
NEW DELHI: While estimating that nearly 70% of India's exports are exposed to Trump's 50% tariffs, think tank Icrier has suggested govt support for hard-hit sectors, such as textiles and gems and jewellery, along with sharp duty cuts in non-sensitive farm goods and addressing US demands on genetically modified products. The recommendations on farm goods fly against the stand taken by govt in negotiations with the US, even though the paper maintained that India should not buckle under pressure. "The US remains too large and too important to write off, especially as India advances trade deals with the UK and EU. Instead, India must work to re-engage the US with smart, tactical negotiation, next rounds of which are scheduled this month-end. The key sticking point has always been agriculture. US demands on GM products should be addressed on the basis of science rather than ideology," said a paper by economists Ashok Gulati, Sulakshana Rao and Tanay Suntwal. It suggested that GM corn can be used for ethanol blending or poultry feed, while pointing out that India did not allow GM soya but imported it in the form of soya oil. It also proposed steep duty cuts for agricultural products, especially those that are not sensitive and with low domestic production, such as walnuts (120% tariff), cranberries and blueberries and breakfast cereals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Undo Even in the case of dairy, the paper has argued for tariff rate quota to allow certain quantities at lower duty, while imposing "prohibitive tariffs" beyond that. Further it said: "On dairy, India could explore a certification system - similar to halal - that assures buyers the cattle are non-meat fed or pasture-grazed." Citing items with over 50% customs duty in India, the economists have made a case for "reforms", arguing that "high protectionist tariffs breed inefficiency". "The fact is India needs major reforms in rationalising its import duties, irrespective of Trump's pressures. Rather than shielding agriculture with blanket protections, India should invest in R&D, improve supply chain efficiency and modernise infrastructure reforms on the scale of the 1991 liberalisation. This adversity should be converted to an opportunity through domestic reforms and India must focus on innovations, high productivity and R&D to enhance our export competitive strength, globally," the paper said. Overall, it said, due to tariffs in the US, agriculture stands to face smaller losses compared to other sectors, although semi-milled rice will have to compete with produce from Thailand and Pakistan. Similarly, herbal and nutraceutical exports face disadvantages. Arguing that the tariff gap with competing countries is too large in the case of textiles and apparel, the paper made a case for "targeted, time-bound support through subsidies, rebates or incentives to bridge the gap and keep orders flowing. In case of shrimps it said there was a possibility of loss of orders in short-term, which will impact producers in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha. It has also called for reducing dependence on the US and suggested that the trade deal with the UK and European Union and other countries must be advanced.
