Jimmy Kimmel trolls Trump with old footage of him talking about Obama and Iran

Jimmy Kimmel trolls Trump with old footage of him talking about Obama and Iran

Jimmy Kimmel has found old footage of Trump talking about Obama and Iran in the wake of the US launching "major combat operations".

Jimmy Kimmel presents his show.

The one handy thing about having a president who spent years as a celebrity is that there's no shortage of old footage to draw on when you need a clip of them contradicting themselves after they start a war.

This is exactly what Jimmy Kimmel does in the clip above, digging out some footage of Donald Trump in 2011 saying he thinks Obama "will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate" and calling him "weak and ineffective."

"Well, look at that: another prediction he got right," says Kimmel, before sharing a 2012 tweet from Trump on the same topic: "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin — watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran," Trump wrote. "He is desperate."

"Well, I guess at least we know why he did this," says Kimmel.
