Jimmy Kimmel sarcastically took Donald Trump s side on Tuesday after the former president was fined $9,000 for multiple violations of a gag order in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
I dont think its fair, Kimmel snarked. This trial is about the fact that he paid a woman to be quiet. Now he isnt quiet, he has to pay them? It makes no sense. Theyre using his thing against him.
Trump has likened himself to Jesus in the case and Kimmel took that comparison to the next level.
Its like Jesus, a carpenter, who they nailed to a cross. I mean, think about it, Kimmel said. Read about it in your Trump-brand Bibles .
Judge Juan Merchan said further violations of the gag order could lead to jail time and Kimmel said theres an opening for Melania Trump to get her husband locked up.
Melania was like, Dont let the judge tell you what to do. Keep violating. Be a man, Kimmel said.
