Jimmy Kimmel thought of a few more nicknames for former president Donald Trump on Tuesday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
After Trump called himself Honest Don in a late night Truth Social post and called for “a full scale debate” with “Crooked Joe Biden,” Kimmel commented that “he’s giving himself nicknames now.”
The host noted that “There are many nicknames that would be better than Honest Don.” He suggested “Genghis Don, Don the Con, Donnie D-Cups, Danye West, Donald Duck the Draft, Kim Don Un and Man-Boob Mussolini.” He expressed that any of those would be better than Honest Don.
Kimmel also envisioned how Trump came up with Honest Don in the first place.
Kimmel asked, “Is there anything sadder than giving yourself a nickname at 1:30 a.m.?” He added, “On the toilet going, ‘Honest Don,’ that’s gonna be it. And ‘Honest’ is Abe Lincoln’s nickname. Even his nickname ‘Honest’ is stolen.”

Kimmel's Trump segment comes just two days after the Oscars host criticized the politician during the 96th Academy Awards. Kimmel read aloud a Truth Social post of Trump’s criticizing his hosting abilities.
Kimmel read out a Truth Social post of Trump’s critiquing his hosting abilities, saying “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars.” Kimmel recited, “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger and more glamorous.”
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is on weeknights at 11:35 p.m. PST on ABC.
