Jimmy Kimmel Trump Awards Exchange 2026: Trophies Offered for ICE Withdrawal
In a bold 2026 monologue, Jimmy Kimmel offered Donald Trump his Emmy and Soul Train awards in exchange for withdrawing ICE agents from Minneapolis following recent deadly raids.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel just made an offer that puts a comedic twist on the 'art of the deal.' During his monologue, he promised to hand over his entire collection of prestigious awards to President Donald Trump—under one condition: pull ICE agents out of Minneapolis immediately.
The Jimmy Kimmel Trump Awards Exchange 2026 Proposal
The stunt follows a White House meeting on Thursday, January 15, 2026, where Venezuelan leader María Corina Machado gifted Trump her own Nobel Peace Prize medal. Mocking the president’s visible delight over a prize he didn't technically win, Kimmel decided to leverage Trump’s well-known affinity for accolades.
Kimmel’s "stash" of potential bribes includes his 1999 Daytime Emmy for 'Ben Stein's Money,' a Clio, a Webby, and a Writers Guild of America Award. He even jokingly offered his 2015 Soul Train Award for 'White Person of the Year.' "The choice is yours," Kimmel stated, offering to personally deliver the haul to the Oval Office if the administration leaves the people of Minneapolis alone.
A Darker Context: Clashes in Minneapolis
While the delivery was humorous, the context is anything but. Minneapolis has seen rising tensions after recent ICE raids resulted in a fatality, sparking intense local protests. Kimmel's monologue highlights the sharp divide between federal immigration enforcement and city residents, using his platform to address a situation that has turned deadly.
