The way Jimmy Kimmel sees it, the world is burning after Tuesday night. The longtime late-night host and card-carrying liberal pontificated on the repercussions of President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory Tuesday night, declaring it a “terrible night” for everyone from immigrants to women and journalists.

It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security. For our allies in Ukraine.
