The former president bragged about his audience during a Long Island, NY rally earlier this week, where he claimed “nobody” can draw a crowd like him.
“I’m the greatest of all time, maybe greater even than Elvis, because Elvis had a guitar, I don’t have a guitar. Elvis had a guitar, I don’t have the privilege of a guitar,” Trump said.
Kimmel finished the thought for the former president.
“Thanks to my tiny baby hands I am unable to play the guitar,” Kimmel said.
Trump’s boast about his crowd led Kimmel to deliver a fact-check with video evidence. The late night host rolled footage of the Nassau Coliseum audience during Trump’s speech, showing vast sections of empty seats and people headed for the exits.
“Elvis hadn’t left the building,” Kimmel said. “But half the crowd had.”
Crowd sizes have long been a sore spot for Trump, who likes to brag about them ― and definitely doesn’t like when people point out empty seats, or fans leaving early.
