Jimmy Kimmel Runs Attack Ad on Behalf of Trump Against Pope Francis Nobel Prize Bid

It came as quite a surprise that real estate mogul and Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize earlier this week, but it’s even more surprising that Trump hasn’t lifted a finger since then to secure the prize for himself. Jimmy Kimmel Live host Jimmy Kimmel sought to remedy that situation Thursday night with the first Nobel Prize TV ad in the history of the award, as far as we know.

The ad features many of Trump’s signature touches, but most amusingly, the exact sort of attack you would expect Donald to make against his rival nominee, Pope Francis. If the Pontiff knows what’s good for him, he’ll stay down. Watch the clip above, from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
