 ABC/screengrabJimmy Kimmel may not have made any jokes on Monday about the second apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump over the weekend. But he did not hesitate to hammer the Republican presidential nominee for blaming the incident on his political opponents.
The host began by calling the "would-be assassin" a "troubled individual," joking that you "know he's nuts" because he once tweeted that his dream GOP ticket would be Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Jam's Trump endorsement, amplified by the buzz surrounding the awkwardly inaccurate rally introduction, has made him the subject of relentless criticism—and mockery—across the internet.
