A segment of Jimmy Kimmel Live on October 29 was a video edit intercutting important announcements by Barack Obama and Donald Trump: Each US president was talking about successful military operations targeting leaders of terrorist organisations.
Obama’s speech about the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, who founded Al-Qaeda, comes across as well-articulated, poised and mature. Trump’s speech on the operation that killed leader of ISIS, Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi, on the other hand, comes across as, typically Trump.
The overall outcome? Hilarious.
