During his monologue, Jelly Roll mocked Trump&#8217;s handling of the IndyCar race in Washington, D.C., calling Trump&#8217;s flag-waving skills &#8220;a s*** job&#8221; and joking about Trump driving his motorcade in what he referred to as the \u201clap of honor,\u201d humorously likening it to a loyalty program at a strip club. he also made fun of Trump&#8217;s weight gain, citing reports that Trump had gained 14 pounds, and contrasted this with his own weight loss of 300 pounds, suggesting that many Americans want to lose weight like trump. The comedian further called out Trump&#8217;s past remarks about others\u2019 weight, making derogatory comments aimed at the president.<\/p>\n<p>The segment drew criticism from fans and observers, some of whom expressed disappointment, pointing out that Jelly Roll&#8217;s jokes could alienate his conservative, country, and Southern music audience, who largely support Trump. Social media reactions included supporters questioning the rapper&#8217;s political stance, feeling surprised by his attacks on Trump, and warnings that such comments might harm his relationship with core fans. the appearance was controversial, with some viewing it as a miscalculation that risks alienating a significant portion of Jelly Roll\u2019s audience.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jelly Roll took multiple shots at President Donald Trump while filling in as guest host on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d Monday, to the surprise of many of the country musician\u2019s fans.<\/p>\n<p>The singer, who is best known for \u201cSave Me,\u201d \u201cSon of a Sinner\u201d and \u201cI Am Not Okay,\u201d first made fun of how the president waved the green flag, getting the Freedom 250 Grand Prix race underway in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/jelly-roll-trump-jokes-jimmy-kimmel-live-monologue-fans-react\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheWrap<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s talk about the main event of America this weekend. It was the big IndyCar race hosted by the president,\u201d Jelly Roll said in the show\u2019s opening monologue. \u201cThe cars drove through the streets of D.C., and there\u2019s Donald Trump, who apparently has never held a flag before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a s*** job! How do you f*** up waving a flag?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Jelly likely did not write any of his own jokes, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rosie-odonnell-announces-returning-view-despite-tense-time-whoopi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kimmel show<\/a> people who probably did, of course, had to trot out that favorite Democrat saw: Trump\u2019s a racist.<\/p>\n<p>The artist said, \u201cThe president seemed to enjoy the IndyCar race, which was a real switch-up for him because normally he only likes his own race,\u201d to the delight of the audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>WARNING: The following video clip contains vulgar language that some may find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R8W1CpNGgw8?si=5_8btU5N-NpwIDO_&#038;start=145\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>  He continued: \u201cTrump also drove around the track in his motorcade doing what they call the \u2018lap of honor.\u2019 Which sounds like a loyalty program at a strip club: 5 percent cash back in the champagne room for all Lap of Honor members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jelly, who has had his own challenges in packing on the pounds over the years, then shifted into making fun of Trump\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, those are the only laps Trump\u2019s been doing lately. According to The Washington Post, a lot of doctors are worried about the president\u2019s weight. After his last physical, we found out Trump gained 14 pounds, which means he\u2019s now tipping the scales at almost 240,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s crazy. Think about this, y\u2019all. In the last few years, I\u2019ve lost 300 lb. That means I\u2019ve lost an entire Donald Trump,\u201d Jelly pointed out. \u201cAnd let\u2019s be honest, based on his approval ratings, it seems like most of the country wants to do the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then showed past clips of Trump calling out others for being overweight, like New Jersey Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-threatens-investigate-chris-christie-no-one-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Christie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, if that ain\u2019t the pot calling the kettle fat,\u201d Jelly Roll said. \u201cWell, Mr. President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important. And trust me, you\u2019ll be happy to see your penis again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pretty low-class stuff, and fans were not liking it.<\/p>\n<p>One wrote in the comments on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R8W1CpNGgw8&#038;t=149s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, \u201cWait, hold up.
