Kimmel: Trump’s War Against Iran Is Meant to Distract from Epstein

The actor, known for his role in the series The Leftovers, wrote sarcastically on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that Trump had changed the name of the “Department of Defense” to the “Department of War,” noting that this represented a serious shift in government policy and that they “were not joking about it.” In his post, accompanied by bitter humor, he protested the transformation of the government apparatus into a war machine and criticized the current U.S. administration’s foreign policy record.
