Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Trump’s attack on Pope Leo XIV, calling it a “real-life ‘South Park’ episode.” Trump criticized the pope as “weak on crime” in a social media post, prompting Kimmel to quip, “He’s the pope. He visits people in jail—imagine if he fought crime. Then we’d have *Murder, She Pope*.” The segment escalated when Trump shared an AI image of himself as Jesus healing Jon Stewart, with Colbert joking, “He thinks he’s a doctor, not a messiah.” Stewart added, “Not even Hitler attacked the Pope this directly—this is unprecedented.” The feud highlights Trump’s escalating rhetoric and media’s role in amplifying it.
