Donald Trump attempted to start another conflict with Jimmy Kimmel, and the late-night host defeated him once more.
Jimmy Kimmel mentioned, “By the way, I was at my niece and nephew’s music recital when I received this video. I shouldn't be surprised. Donald Trump has claimed I lack talent so many times, Eric is starting to get jealous. What he doesn’t understand is that I enjoy this. I love that this upset him so much. I love that Fox chose a news guy nobody knows to interview him. And I especially love when he tries to spin the fact that everyone was laughing at him into a positive.”
Kimmel aired a clip of Trump stating in a Fox News interview over the weekend:
Now look, look. Jimmy Kimmel every night he attacks me. His ratings are awful. He is not a skilled guy. I hear he attacks me all the time. So I thought I would attack him, because I thought he was a terrible host.
And he probably foolishly had to respond quickly, right? He had minutes, because he is on air. He sees this thing and he wants to go out there and I guess confront me. And he ends up reading my truth. I said this guy is even dumber than I thought. The thing went viral. It spread all over the world now, and all he had to do is keep his mouth shut.
Kimmel replied, “Yeah, yeah. By the way, you forget why it went viral all over the world.”
The late-night host played a clip of his Isn’t it past your jail time joke and continued:
Barbie was laughing at you. Not only were they laughing at you on Oscar Sunday, there are now dozens of “Past your jail time” shirts! For sale. There are mugs. There are tank tops. There is an “Isn’t it past your jail time” backpack? People are writing it outside the Trump Hotel. There are billboards. There are billboards in Pennsylvania and Florida, and there are a lot more to come.
But if only I’d kept my mouth shut. Imagine him telling anyone they should’ve kept their mouth shut? That should be on his tombstone. Should have kept his mouth shut. Hey, maybe you know what? Maybe you’re right about me being dumb. We should take one of those cognitive tests or an IQ test together. Or maybe we should sit down for a long game of Scrabble together and find out who has a bigger brain. I’d love that. But I get it. He’s wounded and he’s lashing out.
Video:
Trump never ever learns. He knows that he got humiliated in front of a global audience at the Oscars, so he is trying to spin it into a positive for himself. Trump became the butt of the joke. He didn’t go viral for a good reason. Anyone else would have been embarrassed, but Donald Trump believes that he can turn it into a positive.
Donald Trump needs to stop trying to fight with Jimmy Kimmel because the end result is just more humiliation.
e their move or pack up and end this investigation.
