Jelly Roll Calls President Trump ‘Full of Sh–,’ Doubles Down on Weight Jokes: ‘I Thought Fat-on-Fat Crime Was OK!’
Jelly Roll isn’t backing down from making jokes at the president’s expense, with the country star once again taking aim at Donald Trump ‘s physique during his guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live! During his monologue on the Wednesday episode of the late-night talk show — where Jelly has been serving as guest host while Kimmel takes a break — the musician brought up the outrage MAGA conservatives and Fox News pundits have expressed in response to his recent jabs at the POTUS.
Two nights prior on Kimmel , Jelly had quipped that he’d “lost an entire Donald Trump” when describing his own 300-pound weight loss and at one point joked, “Mr.
President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important.” Related Jelly Roll Jabs Trump Over Weight While Guest-Hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ ‘She Might Be The Last American That Everyone Liked’: Jelly Roll Pays Tribute to Dolly Parton Bunnie Xo Says She’ll ‘Never’ Get Married Again After Jelly Roll Split, Recalls ‘Betrayal Trauma’ of His Affair In an unserious defense of his previous comments, a grinning Jelly told Kimmel’s audience, “I thought fat-on-fat crime was OK!” “We can debate whether this president is mentally fit, but I think we can all agree he is certainly not physically fit,” the Grammy winner continued before introducing a parody commercial for a fake weight-loss drug called “Donjaro.” “Is your obesity making it difficult for you to focus on the things you love?” a narrator says over clips of Trump in the faux ad.
“Does your butt bulge in ways that defy the laws of physics?” After the video was over, Jelly said sarcastically: “Wouldn’t it be nice to see Trump lose something besides the war, his popularity and most of his f–king marbles? I believe in you, Mr.
President.
With a little hard work, one day your waistline will be just as thin as your skin.” Billboard has reached out to the White House for comment.
Elsewhere in the monologue, the singer poked fun at Trump’s “ridiculous” trade war with Canada, which has reportedly caused a surge in the prices of toilet paper, amongst other things.
“You have to admit, there is something poetic about it being so expensive to wipe our a– just because the president’s full of sh–,” Jelly said, earning laughter and applause.
He also disputed Jesse Watters’ recent suggestion on Fox News that Jelly had taken Ozempic and suffered “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a side effect.
“First of all, Jesse, I’ll have you know Ozempic is the only drug I haven’t tried,” the CMA Award winner joked.
“I lost weight the old fashioned way: cocaine.” One reason Jelly’s comments have caused as much of a stir as they have is that the star has largely stayed out of politics throughout his music career.
