Donald Trump mocked for AI alien image and China trip on Jimmy Kimmel show

On May 17, 2026 President Donald Trump posted an AI‑generated picture of himself walking with a handcuffed alien on Truth Social, without any caption. Late‑night host Jimmy Kimmel highlighted the post on his May 18 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, calling it “the guy with the nuclear codes is out of his goddamn mind.” He also noted a follow‑up image claiming Trump was “aging in reverse,” quipping, “Wearing diapers does not mean you’re aging in reverse.”

Kimmel then turned to Trump’s recent May 13‑15 visit to China, mocking the president’s itinerary. He joked the trip was “to see all of the factories where his American First merchandise is made” and mocked the handshake between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping as “some hand‑holding” and “a series of pity pats.” Audience reactions on social media praised Kimmel’s commentary.
