Jimmy Kimmel congratulates Trump on 1 year of the Mueller 'Witch Hunt,' and Seth Meyers throws up his hands

"Today is the one-year anniversary of Collusiapallooza," Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Kimmel Live, "and our president had a special message on Twitter this morning to celebrate that fact," congratulating America on entering "the second year of the greatest Witch Hunt in American History." "Congrats to you, too, old pal, we've come a long way," Kimmel said. "When he started with 'Congratulations America,' I was hoping he would end with 'I quit,' but no."

"It was a big day — Robert Mueller had a bouquet of long-stem subpoenas delivered to the White House," Kimmel said, but his own present was a reel of Trump saying "witch hunt" in a surprising variety of public settings.

Trump's personal lawyer is also in the news, facing new allegations that he solicited a $1 million bribe from Qatar — unsuccessfully. "Michael Cohen's like the human version of every failed product on Shark Tank — he's the worst!" Kimmel said. "I mean, who does that kind of thing?" (Guillermo.)
