Jelly Roll Takes Jabs at Donald Trump While Guest Hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
During Jelly Roll ‘s return as guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night , the country singer took several opportunities to throw jabs at President Donald Trump .
During his opening monologue, the country singer-rapper started with the “main event of America this weekend” — the IndyCar race in Washington, D.C., dubbed the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.
“The cars drove through the streets of D.C., and there’s Donald Trump, who apparently has never held a flag before,” he said, as a video played of the president waving a green flag. “What a shit job.

As the audience broke out in laughter, Jelly Roll continued, “But the president seemed to enjoy the IndyCar race, which was a real switch up for him, because normally he only likes his own race.”
“Trump also drove around the track in his motorcade doing what they call the lap of honor, which sounds like a loyalty program at a strip club,” the singer quipped. “Five percent cash back in the champagne room for all Lap of Honor members. Sadly, those are the only laps Trump’s been doing lately.”
Jelly Roll’s “laps” joke was only the beginning of several more digs directed at Trump’s physical fitness during the monologue.
