\n

Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> celebrated \u201cTACO<\/a> Tuesday\u201d by taking aim at Donald Trump<\/a> after he hit pause<\/a> on his genocidal threat to Iran<\/a> for two weeks, marking yet another instance of the president backing down on a threat or deadline he\u2019s imposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The late night host pointed to Trump\u2019s talk of attacking Iran\u2019s power plants, adding that it would constitute a war crime, before tossing to a clip<\/a> of Trump answering a reporter who asked him about attacking the civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou know what\u2019s a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon, allowing a sick country with demented leadership have a nuclear weapon. That\u2019s a war crime,\u201d said the president at an Easter event outside the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kimmel responded, \u201cThen lock yourself up, because that\u2019s the boat we are floating in right now!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou know things are bad when the crazy people think you\u2019re too crazy,\u201d the comedian quipped.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI mean, what a plot twist. It\u2019s like the Minions are suing Gru or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
