“There are so many bad parts of a government shutdown, but the worst so far is that as of this weekend, nearly 42 million Americans have lost their food stamp benefits. No one should understand the importance of daily meals more than Donald Trump. Hungry is his favorite emotion.

Trump’s “disapproval rating” is 63%. And what do you do when you have a terrible approval rating? You throw the most ill-timed, tone-deaf Halloween party imaginable, A Great Gatsby party. You know, throwing a party at your private golf club where the theme is rich white people hours before millions of Americans are set to lose their food assistance might be the Trumpiest Trump move of all time. It felt like the last big bash before the Epstein files come out. —Jimmy Kimmel

Joe Biden has been stealing other people's material for so long Abe Lincoln sent him a cease and desist. You know Joe's pension for plagiarism started at law school where he admitted to lifting entire passages for a term paper and Syracuse law school punished him by giving him an F and making him retake the class. That's right he was left back in law school. I didn't know that was possible. This would be the law school where Joe says he finished in the top half half of his class but it says he finished 76 out of 85, so apparently he sucks at math too. —Greg Gutfeld
Joe Biden also claimed to have his helicopter forced down by al Qaeda, to have been shot at in Iraq and to have been arrested in civil rights demonstrations, including trying to visit Nelson Mandela in jail. To be fair, he did think Mandela was Corn Pop. —Greg Gutfeld

In Donald Trump’s pre-trial remarks, he said that he was “proud” to be there. He’s proud to be there, for an assault on our country. He’s proud to be at his trial for paying off a porn star. Who wouldn’t be proud of that? Gosh, I only wish his parents were alive to see it. —Jimmy Kimmel
