Trump’s Fake Peace Medal, Sick Vaccine Lies & War Crimes Catch Up to Him | Jimmy Kimmel

Hello, my brilliantly stubborn lovers of democracy and diehard Jimmy Kimmel fans. Today is December 6, and after scrolling through what Donald Trump has been up to, I honestly feel like I should start this show with a content warning. The following images may be disturbing to viewers

with common sense, because tonight we've got Trump looking like a decaying wax statue, giving himself a fake FIFA peace medal, cheering on anti-vax policies that put newborn babies at risk, crashing poll numbers, economic pain, war crimes at sea, and a regime that cares more about Mar-a-Lago

meet-and-greet emails than whether you can afford health care. Let's start with the visuals, because Trump sure did. He's posting these glamour shots of himself at an event he threw for himself so he could award himself a made-up FIFA 2025 Peace Prize.

Yes, FIFA. The same FIFA that hosts the World Cup and is famous for corruption looked at Donald Trump and said, you know what we need? More of that. So the FIFA president shows up.

They invent a peace medal. And Donald proudly holds it up like a kid who just won Most Improved at nap time. But look closely at the photos. His face is discolored. The makeup can't keep up.

And that right hand looks like it's halfway to the walking dead. The flesh looks swollen, mottled, like it wants to resign from his body.

Thank you very much. This is truly one of the great honors of my life. And beyond awards, John and I were discussing this. We saved millions and millions of lives. The Congo is an example. Over 10 million people killed,

and it was heading for another 10 million very quickly. And it just... you know, the fact that we could do that India, Pakistan, so many different wars that we're able to end.

The whole thing looks like it should come with a blur filter for graphic content. This is not what a healthy person looks like this is what a lifetime of stress, rage, fast food, and felony indictments looks like when it finally shows up on the outside. And while he's posting those photos, this Peace Prize president jumps online

to celebrate a decision from the CDC's vaccine committee ending the recommendation that newborn babies get the hepatitis B shot at birth. He calls it a very good decision, claims most babies are at no risk, and acts like he's just liberated infants

from some deep state needle conspiracy. Here's the problem. He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Hepatitis B infections in newborns dropped about 99% because of that very vaccine. That's not a small number.

That's, a small number. That's, we mostly solve this territory. So why are he and RFK Jr. and this grotesque little circle of grifters out there insisting babies shouldn't get the vaccine? Because in their world, science is optional.

But pandering to anti-vax conspiracy groups is essential. For decades, ACIP, the CDC committee, was made up of serious doctors and scientists. They've been purged, replaced with ideologues and cranks, and this is what you get, a regime that would rather

please a telegram channel than protect your kid's liver. These are the people literally playing politics with baby vaccines and then screaming, we love children on stage. And at the same time they're attacking vaccines and public health, Trump's political health is collapsing.

CNN's pollster Harry Enten went through the numbers and basically started laughing out of disbelief. Back in February, Trump's net approval among voters under 30 was plus 10. Today, 46. That's a 56-point plunge in less than a year.

You basically never see a drop like that that fast. Even poll nerds who spend all day in spreadsheets are like, I don't see this in the wild. Young people have figured out what the rest of us have known for decades. The guy who promised to make everything affordable

was just a con man with a gold marker. And it's not just young people. He's collapsing among Latinos, collapsing among independents, even collapsing among white men. If white guys were a sports team,

they'd been carrying Trump on their shoulders for eight seasons and finally decided, you know what? My back hurts, I'm done. Part of the reason, the economy of Trump's golden age feels more like rust. Under Biden, we had record low unemployment

and around 16 million jobs created. Under Trump's current regime, it's reversed. About 1.1 million jobs lost just this year, roughly 54% more job losses than under Biden's entire term. Small business bankruptcies are spiking. On Fox, one of their own small business guys

had to admit that high interest rates and Trump's tariffs are hammering small shops, and that this new subchapter V bankruptcy path is basically a cheaper way to flush your business, stiff your creditors, and try to crawl out the other side still owning the company. Last month alone around a hundred and twenty thousand small business jobs vanished. In plain English, it's getting harder to keep the lights on, harder to

pay the staff, harder to pretend this is working. While Trump preaches about the greatest economy ever, real people are watching their businesses slide into the toilet while Fox hosts nod nervously and say, well at least the owners get to keep the company after bankruptcy. And while people are fighting to keep their shops alive, Trump is trying to rip away their health care. This regime is moving to take away Affordable Care Act

subsidies that millions of Americans rely on, especially in red states that refused Medicaid expansion because apparently, we want our citizens to die sooner is now a conservative brand slogan. In states like Texas, without those subsidies and without Medicaid expansion, monthly premiums

could hit something like $3,000 a month. That's more than many people's rent, more than some people's entire take-home pay. Eight out of 10 people who get coverage through the ACA say Congress must extend the subsidies. That includes 95% of Democrats and 72% of Republicans.

So the voters are crystal clear. Don't take away this help. And what are Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson doing? They're playing games with the subsidies, pretending this is some abstract ideological fight when for millions of people, it's literally about whether

they can see a doctor or buy insulin. Then, in the middle of this health care and jobs disaster, we get Marjorie Taylor Greene, of all people, exposing Trump's hypocrisy on the Epstein files. On 60 Minutes, she admitted Trump was furious with her for demanding the Epstein records be released.

Furious. Why? Because, as Trump and MAGA Mike have both said, releasing the files would create new victims. And when they say victims, they're not talking about the girls and young women who were trafficked and abused. They're talking about the rich men

whose names are in those files. In their moral universe, the victims are the billionaires who might suffer reputational damage, not the children whose lives were destroyed. The law says those files are supposed to be released. Even a Florida court has said that certain grand jury testimony could be made public because a federal statute overrides the usual secrecy.

But you know, this regime is going to try every trick in the book. National security, privacy. Think of the donors to delay, redact, or bury as much as they can. When rich men are at risk, suddenly Trump

discovers the importance of protecting victims. And while he's shielding his billionaire friends, American allies in Europe are openly saying, we don't trust these people. German outlet Der Spiegel got a transcript of a call with top European leaders and Zelensky where they warned him about dirty American tricks pushing Ukraine to give up territory to Russia.

Emmanuel Macron says the US will betray Ukraine. The German chancellor says Washington is playing games with both Europe and Kiev. Another leader says we must not leave Zelensky alone with these guys. You can't keep him in a room alone with the Americans.

Why? Because the official national security strategy from this Trump regime literally states that a top priority is cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations. That's a fancy way of saying we want to break

the European Union apart. This is supposed to be our alliance system. And Trump's America is now openly declaring, we're here to undermine you. Europe looks across the Atlantic and sees a country run by war criminals and Putin bootlickers.

And sadly, they're not wrong. You don't have to look any further than the boat strikes off the coast of Venezuela and in the Eastern Pacific. We've now learned that one of the first strikes on September 2nd hit a

boat that wasn't even heading toward the United States. It was going east toward Suriname. The intel said maybe this small boat would meet up with a larger ship and hand off cocaine, not fentanyl, cocaine to a bigger vessel. In a sane world, that's an interdiction. Stop the boat, search it, arrest people if they're traffickers, gather intelligence, maybe find the bigger ship. In Trump's world, it's an execution.

Witnesses describe what happened. The boat is destroyed. Survivors cling to debris, waving their hands, shouting for help for about 45 minutes. They are clearly out of the fight, hors de combat in the language of the laws of war.

Then US forces return and open fire again, killing them. Members of Congress who saw the video in a secure room reportedly came out and vomited. They said it was a clear war crime. And remember, that boat wasn't even coming toward America. These were not invaders headed for Miami Beach.

They were desperate people in the wrong place at the wrong time for a regime that wanted a flashy narco boat kill video. And while all of this is going on, war crimes, collapsing alliances, newborns losing vaccine protection,

ACA subsidies on the chopping block, Trump is flooding inboxes with his usual grifty emails. This isn't a photo or dinner. Did you receive my invitation inquiry? I picked you for my inner circle. Do you want to join the MAGA Hall of Fame?

I have a big question to ask. Should I host a meet and greet at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower? Here's a big question for you. Instead of asking people to fund your fake halls of fame and your golf bills, why don't you make life more affordable? Why don't you extend ACA subsidies instead of ripping them away? Why don't you actually implement the most favored nation's prescription drug

pricing you lied about so we pay the lowest price in the world instead of some of the highest? Why don't you stop awarding yourself fake medals long enough to roll up your sleeves and do something real for Americans? We all know the answer, because that's not who he is. He is and always has been a fraud, a conman, a grifter

with a very good tailor and very bad ethics. He has bankrupted casinos, fake universities, airlines, and now he's doing the same thing to public health, foreign policy, and the economy, and he wants a Peace Prize for it. So on this December 6, here's where we stand.

A president who looks physically and morally decayed, giving himself a fake FIFA Peace Medal while he and his anti-vax cronies strip vaccines from newborns, a leader whose approval with young people has fallen off a cliff, an economy where small businesses and jobs are disappearing while he brags about a golden age, a health care system where ACA subsidies are under attack, despite overwhelming bipartisan support

from the people who actually use them, an administration trying to protect rich men from Epstein files while pretending to care about victims, allies who don't trust us, war crimes on the high seas, and a torrent of scammy emails begging you to pay for the privilege of standing in line

to shake his rotting hand. I'm Jimmy Kimmel. It's December 6th. If you're as disgusted by this circus as I am, there is one thing this regime can't spin, can't gaslight, and can't buy a medal for. Your vote.

Pay attention. Stay loud. Support real pro-democracy media and organizers. And since this is YouTube, make sure you're actually subscribed. Because if there's one thing Donald Trump hates more than facts and vaccines,

it's millions of people laughing at him it's millions of people laughing at him and then voting him out.
