While legacy network late-night TV hosts are losing viewership, respect and, in some cases, their jobs, one of them is so upset over the current U.S. president, he has obtained citizenship in Italy.
Jimmy Kimmel spilled the beans during a recent episode of “The Sarah Silverman Podcast,” as he was interviewed by comedian and host Sarah Silverman, his ex-girlfriend.
As the Blaze reported, on the episode, Kimmel revealed that he dislikes Trump’s second presidency so much that he sought out foreign citizenship.
“A lot of people I know are thinking about, where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said.
“I do have Italian – I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel replied.
Elated, Silverman stated, “You do? Oh, that’s amazing!”
Said Kimmel: “I do have that. And what’s going on is as bad as you thought it was going to be. Way worse. It’s so much worse,” he said about Trump. “It’s just unbelievable. Like, I feel like it’s probably even worse than he would like it to be.”
Italy is one of several foreign nations that honors dual citizenship. It was unclear whether or not Kimmel planned to repudiate his U.S. citizenship.
The prime minister of Italy, Giorgia Meroni, is considered a “far right-wing” leader. She has been in office since 2022 and was seen on video last year at a G7 summit gently guiding then-President Biden back after his seemingly wandering away from a gathering of state leaders.
