Jimmy Kimmel sent his staff downtown to ask Los Angeles business owners if they want to thank Donald Trump for sending troops there back in June. The segment, which aired Wednesday, didn’t go well for the president. (Watch the video below.)
The talk show host spotlighted Trump’s claim that his friends are dining out again after he deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C.
Kimmel said the National Guard and Marine presence amid ICE raids in LA “killed the restaurants downtown.” (Not to mention that it was declared illegal by a federal judge this week.) He played a clip of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying, “LA wouldn’t be standing today if President Trump hadn’t taken action.”
“Small-business owners are thankful,” she added.
So Kimmel’s crew asked proprietors if they were indeed thankful for Trump’s takeover.
If answers like “absolutely not” and “[Bleep] no” are really just code for gratitude, then Noem is absolutely right.
Then again, Trump did receive one “thank you” in the segment.
“Thank you for [bleep]-ing things up,” one man said.
Fast forward to 8:00 for the whole segment or advance further to 10:30 for the on-the-street interviews:
