Jimmy Kimmel’s Mar-a-Lago LEGO set lets you raid Trump
By Matt Moore
Jimmy Kimmel is getting into the holiday spirit, debuting a brand-new LEGO set just in time for Christmas. The late-night TV host shared a parody inspired by Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home that lets kids reenact an FBI raid.
Kimmel’s monologue on Thursday night covered reports that the January 6 Committee could recommend insurrection charges against Trump and his associates. However, the comedian isn’t exactly holding his breath.
For one thing, it has been nearly two years since the Capitol riot and no one close to the former president has faced charges. Then, Kimmel reminded his audience that Trump has never really faced any true consequences for his alleged misdeeds. So far, that includes the removal of classified documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
News broke that the January 6 committee now has full access to those documents. It gave Jimmy Kimmel Live! the inspiration for a play-at-home version: the Mar-a-LEGO set.
Jimmy Kimmel’s mock LEGO set is full of Trump jabs
The “Search and Seizure” edition of Jimmy Kimmel’s Mar-a-LEGO set is full of punchlines directed at former President Donald Trump and his team. The late-night show paid attention to the details as it packed the bit with joke after joke.
Look closely and you’ll see fried chicken on Trump’s desk or a picture of Trump positioning himself on Mount Rushmore. Then, there are more broad jokes like Melania Trump hiding in a safe and Eric Trump with his head stuck in a golf bag.
Kimmel’s LEGO parody also doesn’t shy away from some of the more serious or darker scandals that have hit Team Trump. The Saudi nationals, Ivana Trump’s tombstone, and gun-wielding supporters all reference events that stick out in the playful, upbeat tone of a kid’s toy commercial.
