Donald Trump tried to pick another fight with Jimmy Kimmel, and the late-night host destroyed him again.
Jimmy Kimmel said, “By the way, I was at some niece and nephew's concert when I found this video. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Donald Trump has said many times that I am not talented, Eric is starting to get jealous. She doesn't realize that I like it. I love that it upset him so much. I love that Fox picked a news person no one knew to interview her. And I especially like when he tries to put a positive spin on the fact that everyone was laughing at him.”
Kimmel played a clip of Trump saying this in a Fox News interview over the weekend:
Now look, look. Jimmy Kimmel kills me every night. His ratings are terrible. He is not a genius. I hear he hits me all the time. So I thought I'd hit him out, because I thought he was a lousy host.

And he probably had to do something stupid in a short period of time, right? He had a few minutes, because he's on the air. He sees this thing and he wants to go out there and I think he wants to compete with me. And he finishes reading my truth. I said this guy is even more stupid than I thought. The thing went viral. Now it spread all over the world, and all he had to do was keep his mouth shut.
Kimmel responded, “Yeah, yeah. By the way, you forgot 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, but now there are dozens of “Past Your Jail Time” shirts! For sale. There are mugs. There are tank tops. There's a backpack “Isn't your jail time over?” People are writing this outside the Trump Hotel. Hoardings have been put up. There are billboards in Pennsylvania and Florida, and more to come.
But I wish I had kept my mouth shut. Imagine telling someone that they should have kept their mouth shut? It should be on his tomb. Should have kept your mouth shut. Hey, maybe you know what? Maybe you're right about me being an idiot. We should take one of those cognitive tests or IQ tests together. Or maybe we should sit down together for a long game of Scrabble and find out who has the bigger brain. I'd love that. But I understood. He is hurt and screaming loudly

Trump by no means learns. He is aware of he needed to be humiliated in entrance of a world viewers on the Oscars, so he’s attempting to make it a constructive for himself. Trump turned a laughing inventory. It didn't go viral for any good motive. Anybody else would have been embarrassed, however Donald Trump believes he can flip it right into a constructive.
Donald Trump must cease attempting to select a combat with Jimmy Kimmel as a result of the top end result will likely be much more humiliation.
They need to depart or pack their issues and finish this investigation.
