Jimmy Kimmel Responds To Trump’s Claim That The U.S. Spends $100 Million On Condoms For Hamas: “Did Diddy Join Hamas?”

Jimmy Kimmel‘s Live opening monologues this week have become increasingly unhinged as he’s commented on President Donald Trump‘s recent political moves.
On Tuesday, Kimmel took aim at Trump’s claim that the United States is spending $50 to 100 million on condoms for Hamas as part of the administration’s decision to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development.

“All USAID missions overseas have been ordered to end by Friday because Trump, for some reason, believes they are spending their money on rubbers for terrorists,” Kimmel said.
He then pointed out that Trump is now claiming the United State spent $100 million on condoms for Hamas, when just days ago, Trump said his administration “identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.”
“Okay, last week it was 50 now it’s 100,” Kimmel responded. “How did it go to 100 in five days? Did Diddy join Hamas and we don’t know?”

Kimmel has taken several shots at Diddy since the disgraced music mogul was arrested on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. He recently joked that Diddy was one of the last people President Biden pardoned, adding, “I guess Uncle Joe loves a freak off.”
During Tuesday’s broadcast, the Live audience howled with laughter as Kimmel continued to debunk Trump’s claims.
“It does sound crazy that we would be spending millions of dollars on condoms for Hamas. That’s because we’re not!” he asserted. “It’s completely false. There are so many lies coming out of his mouth, there is so much damage being done.”
The Associated Press clarified in a report that the $100 million they’re referring to is likely a grant the USAID awarded to the International Medical Corps for medical services in Gaza, which included “family planning programming including emergency contraception; sexual healthcare including prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs); and adolescent sexual and reproductive health.” The IMC denied that government funding was being used to “procure or distribute condoms.”
Kimmel then tried to look at our Democratic leaders for some hopeful support. He shared a clip of New York Sen. Chuck Schumer’s recent appearance at a demonstration protesting Elon Musk gaining access to the Treasury Department, where the politician awkwardly led a chant with the crowd.
“Oh, we are so fucked,” Kimmel said after watching the clip back. “I mean, we are doomed. All these old men, look who we have running this country.”
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
