Donald Trump tried to get into another fight with Jimmy Kimmel, and the late night host destroyed him again.
Jimmy Kimmel said, “But when I received this video, I was attending a concert of some nephews. I don't think you need to be surprised. Donald Trump told me several times that I had no talent, and Eric started to get jealous. What he doesn't realize is that I like this. I love how this bothers him so much. I love that Fox chose a news person who no one knows to interview him. I especially like how he tries to turn the fact that everyone is laughing at him into something positive.”
Kimmel played a video of Trump speaking in a Fox News interview over the weekend.
Now look, look. Jimmy Kimmel hits me every night. His ratings are terrible. He is not a talented person. He said I heard that guy always hits me. So I thought I would hit him. Because I thought he was a terrible host.

And he probably had to act foolishly in a short period of time. He's on air, so he has a few minutes left. I think he sees this and wants to go out there and confront me. And he ends up reading my truth. They said this person was dumber than I thought. The incident went viral. Now it's spread all over the world, and all he had to do was keep his mouth shut.
“Yes,” Kimmel said. But I forgot why it went viral all over the world.”
The late-night host played Aren't You Too Past With His Prison Joke and continued.
Bobby was laughing at you. Not only did they laugh at you on Oscar Sunday, but now there are dozens of “After Jail Time” shirts! For sale. There is a mug. There is a tank top. “Isn’t your time in prison over?” Do you have a backpack? People are writing this outside the Trump Hotel. There is a billboard. There are billboards in Pennsylvania and Florida, with more to come.
But if I had kept my mouth shut. Imagine if he told everyone they should keep their mouths shut. That should be on his tombstone. He should have kept his mouth shut. Hey, do you know what? Maybe you're right that I'm stupid. We should take either a cognitive test or an IQ test together. Or maybe we should sit down together and play a long game of Scrabble to find out who has the bigger brain. I would love it. But I understand it. He is wounded and running.

Trump never learns. He's in front of a global audience at the Oscars, and he knows he's been humiliated, so he's trying to spin it into a positive direction. Trump has become the butt of jokes. He didn't go viral for the right reasons. Anyone would have been embarrassed. But Donald Trump believes he can turn this into a positive thing.
Donald Trump needs to stop fighting Jimmy Kimmel. Because the end result is only greater humiliation.
