Jimmy Kimmel has ridiculed Donald Trump's Father's Day message, comparing the Republican politician's post with his Democratic rival Joe Biden.
The former president took to social media on Sunday to commemorate the occasion.
"Happy Father's Day to all, including the radical left degenerates that are rapidly bringing the United States of America into third world nation status with their many attempts at trying to influence our sacred court system into breaking to their very sick and dangerous will," Trump wrote in all capital letters on Truth Social, the social network he founded in 2022 after being banned from X, formerly Twitter.

"We need strength and loyalty to our country and its wonderful constitution. Everything will be on full display come November 5th, 2024—the most important day in the history of our country. Make America Great Again!!!"

Kimmel, who is a vocal critic of the 78-year-old, compared Trump's message with Biden's post.
"Happy Father's Day to all the dads, pops, and father figures who have shown us guidance, encouragement, and unconditional love," the president wrote on X on Sunday.
After reading the two messages to the audience, Kimmel asked "who would be mad on Father's Day?", before cutting to a throwback photo of Trump's sons Donald Trump Jr., 46, and Eric Trump, 40, whom he shares with his late first wife Ivana Trump.
"I guess you'd be made on Father's Day if there was a whole day dedicated to your two biggest failures," Kimmel continued. "Drippy and dopey."
Kimmel also poked fun at Donald Trump's oldest daughter Ivanka's Father's Day tribute.
The 42-year-old shared a photo of herself with her parents as a baby to Instagram. Sitting at a table during an event, the business mogul is bottle-feeding his daughter in the snap, while her mother Ivana smiles for the camera.
"Celebrating all the amazing dads out there with love and gratitude," the entrepreneur captioned the photo.
"By the way, the golden child Ivanka came out of hiding to post," Kimmel said in response to the tribute.
"'Celebrating all the amazing dads out there with love and gratitude,' alongside a picture of, I guess her as a baby, with her annoyed-looking father feeding her and the mother he later buried on his golf course."
Kimmel was referencing Ivana Trump's funeral in 2022, with the former model laid to rest at Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump for comment via email.
