KIMMEL: “What a day for Donald Trump. You know what? He finally did something positive, and I want to give him credit for it because I know he’s not the type to take credit for himself. Trump was in Israel and Egypt today to celebrate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. All 20 Israeli hostages are home after 738 days in captivity.

Almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released. And while we are only in the first phase of what will undoubtedly be a long and tricky process, the fact is the bombing has stopped, the hostages have been released, and Trump deserves some of the praise for that. So, I know it sounds crazy to say, but good work on that one, President Trump. Now maybe you can not invade Portland. Just an idea.
(Cheering and Applause)
I mean, while you’re on a roll. Trump was in a celebratory mood today, posing for victory photos. The man of the moment. You know, when he isn’t double-fisting McFlurries, he doesn’t know what to do with his hands. He kind of does part of YMCA, or zumba, I’m not sure what that is, but — maybe he’s trying to fly. But Trump took part in a signing ceremony, becoming the first U.S. President to sign a ceasefire agreement with a sharpie the size of a subway sandwich. A lot of people were surprised that Trump was able to help get this ceasefire finally done, but I guess we probably shouldn’t have been. This is a man who knows the Middle East better than anyone. Here he is talking about the close proximity between Iran and Qatar.”

Trump: “Literally, you walk over from Iran to Qatar. You can walk in in one second. You go boom, boom, and now you’re in Qatar.”

KIMMEL: “I didn’t know you go ‘boom, boom,’ and you’re in Qatar. And then we looked it up and it turns out, the reason I didn’t know is because it’s — it’s wrong. It’s very, very wrong.”
