Jimmy Kimmel on Trump campaign hacks: ‘Shows that his password is McNuggets123’

Late-night hosts talk the Trump campaign's multiple campaign hacks, Kamala Harris's lead among young voters and a dubious new Trump merchandise product.

The Trump campaign has now been hacked twice in the last two months, "which is what happens when you store secret documents next to the urinal at a golf course", said Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday evening.

Intelligence officials suspect Iran is behind at least one attack, leading campaign spokesman Steven Cheung to claim that the attacks show how Iran is "terrified of the strength and resolve of Donald J Trump".

"And it also shows that his password is McNuggets123," Kimmel joked.

One of the journalists who received the leaked documents said the material may be "embarrassing or problematic" to members of the Trump campaign. "As if anyone who works for the Trump campaign is capable of embarrassment," Kimmel noted.

In other campaign news, Trump was in Georgia on Tuesday, "where they're working very hard to fix the election for him", and "once again, he had a lil McFit about whether or not Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds". Trump repeatedly and falsely said Harris never worked for the fast-food chain, calling her past employment a "lie".

"He really should just be running for Mayor McCheese," said Kimmel. "It's so dumb, it's so petty, but so is he."

On Late Night, Seth Meyers laughed at Trump's campaign trail confession that his "personality defect" is wanting people to like him. "By his own confession, he likes people who like him, and that's it," said Meyers. "He doesn't care about policy or character or integrity. He you like him, he likes you."

That's why Trump endorsed Mark Robinson, the scandal-plagued Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina. In multiple appearances, Trump praised Robinson, who is Black, saying: "I've gotten to know him so well." He also described Robinson as a "fine wine", "Martin Luther King on steroids" and "Martin Luther King times two".

"He's really truly amazing," said Meyers of Trump. "Everyone agrees Martin Luther King is a great person, but only Trump would say 'I know someone twice as good! Every night he has two dreams!'"

Among Robinson's numerous scandals is a CNN report of his past racist comments on a pornographic website called Nude Africa, including calling himself a "black Nazi". In another comment, Robinson, using his full name in his username, said slavery was "not bad" and that he wished it would come back.

"First of all, who uses their full name on a porn website?" Meyers wondered. "I don't even use my full name when I make a dinner reservation - I use Jimmy Fallon, because I want a table."

Despite his past support of Robinson, the Trump campaign is now pretending they don't know him, and have removed joint events from their calendar. "A healthy, functional political party would do some introspection about how and why they keep attracting deranged extremists and anti-social weirdos like these guys," Meyers concluded. "But the GOP would rather lie and pretend they have never had anything to do with Robinson in the first place."

And on the Late Show, Stephen Colbert cited a new Harvard youth voting poll that found Harris leads young female voters 70% to 23%. "Young women are going to save us all. And young men are going to play Xbox and see how high they can jump off a big rock," Colbert joked.

In an effort to attract young voters, the Harris campaign has committed to visiting over 150 college campuses. "Ooh, 150, she's trying to break Matt Gaetz's record," Colbert quipped. "I'm kidding, obviously he'd never date a college girl. Or, as he calls them, mature honeys."

According to a polling director at Harvard, the results show "a significant shift in the overall vibe".

"Yeah the vibes are immaculate," Colbert said. "The analysis shows that Harris ate and left no crumbs. Her campaign had a bussin' glow-up. In conclusion, the children have broken my brain. Boots king!"

In other news, "Trump may be busy campaigning, but he'll never lose sight of his first love: selling garbage," said Colbert. On Tuesday, the former president announced that he'd be selling silver Trump coins with his face on them. The coins are selling for $100 apiece, though the silver they're made of only costs $30.

"What a deal!" Colbert deadpanned, before imagining one man's justification for buying the coins: "Honey, I know I bought a Trump coin at a 210% loss, but you can use the Trump coin to buy Truth Social stock, and once that eventually bounces back we'll invest the profit in an NFT trading card of his gold sneakers, which is pegged to the price of the little pieces of his suit we got from when he got arrested, then convert it to Trump crypto, which we'll use to buy Melania's book, which, get this, is worth one Trump silver coin."
