America’s talkshow hosts (and politicans) take aim at Trump
“Trump is drawing the biggest crowds of any president criminally indicted for having sex with a porn star in history. All Trump cares about is crowd size. One day he’ll be sitting in the electric chair bragging about all the people who showed up to watch it.” - Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel live.
“Wow, this guy is incapable of keeping his mouth shut for two minutes. Has Trump ever considered paying himself hush money? Think about it.” Jason Klepper, host of The Daily Show.
“It’s weird, the only faithful relationship Trump’s ever been in is with the National Enquirer. Think about how insane it is that our president had a mutually beneficial relationship with the National Enquirer. There are only two people on the planet who can say that: Donald Trump and Bigfoot.” - Jimmy Kimmel
“Well, I think we found the new mascot for Celestial Seasoning Sleep Crime tea,” Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, on reports that Trump fell asleep in court.
“I think everyone has made their own assessment of President Trump’s character. And as far as I know you don’t pay someone $130,000 not to have sex with you”. Senator Mitt Romney, Republican candiate, 2012 Presidential campaign .
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
