Jimmy Kimmel wasn't a fan of Donald Trump's State of the Union address, but it sounds as though plenty of right-wing politicians and talking heads were.

"You really do have to hand it to the gang at Fox, they are very creative when it comes to putting a positive spin on things," says Kimmel in the clip above. "This was the headline from foxnews.com last night, I went on to see what was going on: 'Trump celebrates 'turnaround for the ages' in record-breaking State of the Union Address.' I was like, what record did they break? You know what record they broke? It was the longest State of the Union speech ever. It beat the previous record held for longest speech held by Donald Trump."

Kimmel goes on to play a montage of various Fox reporters and Republicans praising the speech, ending on Senator Ted Cruz describing it as "majestic".

"He still doesn't like you Ted, forget about it," says Kimmel. "He's never going to like you. No one does."
