President Donald Trump once again lashed out at late-night talk show hosts, but his choice of words left Jimmy Kimmel a little perplexed.
On Monday, Trump celebrated his victory in a post on Truth Social, boasting that he had "crushed" the Republicans who criticized him in the primaries, as well as the "VERY DUMB" Stephen Colbert, whose show was canceled by CBS. Trump also claimed that he had "three more lame late-night talk show hosts" left, and Kimmel, whom he has frequently criticized, was presumably one of them.

«"Limping late-night talk show hosts?" Kimmel asked. "I'm not sure I'd call us limping when you have such thick ankles, dear.".
Trump has swollen ankles, or "fat ankles," as they are also called, due to a condition called chronic venous insufficiency.

«"Look at that. It's like they put a shoe on a sausage figurine made out of a balloon," Kimmel said. "Shouldn't the President of the United States be focusing on more important things, like finding a replacement for Milli Vanilli at his Coachella From Hella festival?"»
