Jimmy Kimmel warned President Donald Trump’s base that his first big tariff deal shows he doesn’t really care about them.
Trump on Thursday announced a trade deal with the United Kingdom that essentially triples the taxes that Americans will pay on British goods.
“He is very proud of himself for making a trade agreement with a country we were trading with just fine until he screwed it all up,” Kimmel said.
The late night host noted that some companies such as Rolls Royce got a special break in the deal. While most imported cars now face a 25% tariff, Trump agreed to cut that to 10% for British automakers, which are mostly luxury brands.
“Rest easy, Ma and Pa MAGA hat,” Kimmel snaked. “You’re still gonna lose the farm, but you’ll only have to pay 10% extra on that Rolls-Royce you’ve had your eye on.”
