‘Come Get Your Guy': Jimmy Kimmel Dares Republicans To Act On ‘Deranged' Trump
Jimmy Kimmel on Monday mocked President Donald Trump for uncovering 'perhaps the most shocking political scandal in the history of this planet.'
Trump over the weekend shared a post on his Truth Social website claiming that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by 'clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities.'
'First of all, aren't robots and clones two entirely different things? Not in Trump's head they aren't,' Kimmel said. 'And secondly, I know Trump puts out this stuff as a smokescreen to hide the fact that he's about to cut $600 billion from Medicaid, but this is so deeply nuts.'
Kimmel said the fact that Trump is spreading 'deranged' stories should be front-page news around the nation ― and called out Republicans for treating Trump's mental state differently from that of former President Joe Biden.
'Hey Republicans, remember when you were very concerned Joe might not have the mental acuity to be president? Come get your guy!' Kimmel said. 'I mean if your dad was saying stuff like this you'd start looking for an assisted living facility.'
He also pointed out a problem with Trump's latest conspiracy theory.
'And by the way, whoever built that Joe Biden robot is very bad at building robots,' he said. 'I mean if anyone was replaced by a robotic clone it's Melania, right?'

Trump moves to block US entry for foreign students planning to study at Harvard University
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is moving to block nearly all foreign students from entering the country to attend Harvard University, his latest attempt to choke the Ivy League school from an international pipeline that accounts for a quarter of the student body. In an executive order signed Wednesday, Trump declared that it would jeopardize national security to allow Harvard to continue hosting foreign students on its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 'I have determined that the entry of the class of foreign nationals described above is detrimental to the interests of the United States because, in my judgment, Harvard's conduct has rendered it an unsuitable destination for foreign students and researchers,' Trump wrote in the order. It's a further escalation in the White House's fight with the nation's oldest and wealthiest university. A federal court in Boston blocked the Department of Homeland Security from barring international students at Harvard last week. Trump's order invokes a different legal authority. It stems from Harvard's refusal to submit to a series of demands made by the federal government. It has escalated recently after the Department of Homeland Security said Harvard refused to provide records related to misconduct by foreign students. Harvard says it has complied with the request, but the government said the school's response was insufficient. The dispute has been building for months after the Trump administration demanded a series of policy and governance changes at Harvard, calling it a hotbed of liberalism and accusing it of tolerating anti-Jewish harassment. Harvard defied the demands , saying they encroached on the university's autonomy and represented a threat to the freedom of all U.S. universities. Trump officials have repeatedly raised the stakes and sought new fronts to pressure Harvard, cutting more than $2.6 billion in research grants and moving to end all federal contracts with the university. The latest threat has targeted Harvard's roughly 7,000 international students, who account for half the enrollment at some Harvard graduate schools. The order applies to all students attempting to enter the United States to attend Harvard after the date of the executive order. It provides a loophole to allow students whose entry would 'benefit the national interest,' as determined by federal officials. Trump's order alleges that Harvard provided data on misconduct by only three students in response to the Homeland Security request, and it lacked the detail to gauge if federal action was needed. Trump concluded that Harvard is either 'not fully reporting its disciplinary records for foreign students or is not seriously policing its foreign students.' 'These actions and failures directly undermine the Federal Government's ability to ensure that foreign nationals admitted on student or exchange visitor visas remain in compliance with Federal law,' the order said. For foreign students already at Harvard, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will determine if visas should be revoked, Trump wrote. The order is scheduled to last six months. Within 90 days, the administration will determine if it should be renewed, the order said. A State Department cable sent last week to U.S. embassies and consulates said federal officials will begin reviewing the social media accounts of visa applicants who plan to attend, work at or visit Harvard University for any signs of antisemitism. In a court filing last week, Harvard officials said the Trump administration's efforts to stop Harvard from enrolling international students have created an environment of 'profound fear, concern, and confusion.' Countless international students have asked about transferring from the university, Harvard immigration services director Maureen Martin said in the filing. ___ ___ The Associated Press' education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Dave Chapelle says SNL writers were in tears after Trump's 2016 win
Comedian Dave Chappelle said in a new interview posted Wednesday that President Donald Trump's election win in 2016 emotionally broke the writers for NBC's "Saturday Night Live." Chappelle sat down with fellow comedian Mo Amer as part of Variety's "Actors on Actors" program, where they discussed Chappelle hosting the long-running series the weekend after Trump's shocking first victory. "Man, when they called Donald Trump the winner, that s--- shut the writers' room down. You should have seen them in there," Chappelle said. "Boy, they was crying … They couldn't believe that this was happening." "I knew it the whole time," Amer remarked of Trump's win. "Yeah, because you live in Texas and I live in Ohio, but at 30 Rock, it looked like Hillary Clinton was going to win. I don't know what looks different from those windows," Chappelle said. "But yeah, man, it surprised me." During the interview, Amer asked Chappelle how he felt about his 2016 SNL monologue nearly nine years later. Chappelle revealed he hadn't watched it recently but remembered it "fondly." Amer pointed out that during the monologue, he spoke about giving Trump a chance. "Oh, I remember that part. But you know what? I look at it like a photograph. That's what it felt like in that moment. Now, if it ages well or not, I don't get mad if I look at a picture because it's not today. That's what it was at that time. You might look at an old set and cringe, but you could just cringe because of how you were at that time," Chappelle said. Chappelle's post-election SNL appearances have become a tradition of sorts; he hosted in 2020 only hours after the presidential race was called for former President Joe Biden. He most recently hosted the long-running show in January, the Saturday before Trump's second inauguration.
