Jimmy Kimmel turned one of Donald Trump’s most frequent attacks on President Joe Biden against him on Monday after several observers said the former president fell asleep in court during the first day of his criminal trial.

“If Biden is ‘Sleepy Joe,’ I guess that makes you Doze-O the Clown,” Kimmel said.

Trump has often referred to Biden as “Sleepy Joe,” and his right-wing media allies, such as Sean Hannity, have repeated the attack.

“Imagine if Joe Biden fell asleep in the court on the first day of his trial,” Kimmel said. “Trump would calling him ‘Comatose Joe,’ Fox News would be talking about this until Christmas, but not old Donny Nappleseed.”

Kimmel did spot an upside.

“It’s nice to see even Donald Trump is exhausted by Donald Trump,” he pointed out.

Trudeau says Americans are realizing Trump's tariffs on Canada would make life a lot more expensive
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that Americans “are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive" and said he will retaliate if Donald Trump goes ahead with them. Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau also said dealing with Trump will be “a little more challenging” than the last time because Trump’s team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016. The U.S. president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico unless they stem the flow of migrants and drugs.
