Jimmy Kimmel Torches Trump Over $1 Million Dinner & Golf Outing While Soldiers’ Bodies Returned Home

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back Monday night, unloading on former President Donald Trump for skipping the solemn return of four fallen U.S. soldiers — choosing instead to hit the golf course and headline a $1 million-per-plate fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

“Imagine dropping a million dollars to have dinner with a guy who thinks windmills cause cancer,” Kimmel quipped during his monologue.

“If you’ve got that kind of money to waste, just set it on fire — at least the flames might do less damage.”

Over the weekend, as the bodies of four Army soldiers killed in a tragic training accident in Lithuania arrived at Dover Air Force Base, Trump was nowhere to be found.

Instead, he delegated the responsibility of attending the “dignified transfer” ceremony to his newly appointed Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth.

Trump? He was busy golfing in Florida, participating in the Senior Club Championship at his Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter — a tournament he later bragged about winning aboard Air Force One.

“It’s good to win. You heard I won, right?” Trump told reporters, adding, “I like to win.”

Kimmel fired back with trademark sarcasm:
“Of course he won — in Trump’s tournaments, if you beat him, you’re immediately deported to El Salvador.”

The comedian mocked the absurdity of Trump’s priorities, noting that while military families mourned their loved ones, the former president was boasting about his golf swing and schmoozing with ultra-wealthy donors.

“In Trump’s America, loyalty means two things: write a check or kiss the ring,” Kimmel said.

“And if you can do both over fajitas at Mar-a-Lago, even better.”

The incident has reignited criticism of Trump’s longstanding pattern of placing personal luxury over presidential duty — a narrative Kimmel was more than happy to amplify.

As Kimmel summed it up:
“Golf first, soldiers last — the Trump Doctrine in action.”
