Jimmy Kimmel imagined the upcoming Trump administration as a sitcom, and it was far too good a fit

If someone told us that Trump was being paid by Elon Musk to assemble the least-qualified team for his new administration, purely to make Musk look even slightly competent by comparison, we’d say –

“Oooooh, yes. It all makes sense now.”

And we’d get back to building our nuclear bunker.

Sadly, it seems that the new Trump hires aren’t an elaborate prank, but the actual incoming US Government, and it was more than Jimmy Kimmel could ignore.

Obviously Matt Gaetz is out of that particular role now, but who’s to say he won’t turn up as Groom of the Stool, food-taster or something equally humiliating?

TikTok users were in equal parts impressed and depressed.
