You made our baby cry’ The host discussed being called a ‘loser’ by Trump and the appointment of the new White House press secretary On Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel responded to Donald Trump ’s desire for a Nobel peace prize after the president called it “embarrassing” that the South African lawyer Navi Pillay won the award. Jimmy Kimmel On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host discussed the appointment of the new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia , a former host for the Maga supporting cable news network Newsmax. “Katie met a number of qualifications for this job,” said Kimmel. “She has blond hair, she can do a thumbs up and … end of list, really.” Jimmy Kimmel on Trump’s government: ‘There’s just so much lying and stealing’Read more On Friday, the Nobel peace prize was awarded to Pillay, the former UN human rights commissioner. In response, Trump posted a 600-word tirade on Truth Social claiming that he should have been given the title. “This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway and those people who made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision,” Trump wrote. “I was upset they didn’t give it to him too,” joked Kimmel, as the audience booed Trump. “An indelible stain? Not as indelible as the stain you made on your diaper when they announced it. “He is blaming Norway for this slight,” Kimmel went on. “Thanks a lot, Norway. I hope you’re happy, you made our baby cry. Kimmel added: “Imagine being the single most powerful person in the world and still being such a petty little bitch at all times.” This weekend, Trump also made fun of Kathy Hochul , the governor of New York, who is now reviewing a bill passed by the state legislature which would update legal language to be gender neutral. “Kathy Hochul supports transgender mutilization [sic] of your children, and a bill that would change the terms of ‘mother’ and ‘father’ to ‘gestating’ and ‘non-gestating’ parents,” Trump said. “You can no longer say ‘hi mom’, it’s ‘hi gestating’.” “You know what, that was funny,” remarked Kimmel. “I’m going to call ‘my gestating’ on the way home from work tonight.” At a rally in Tennessee, Trump called Kimmel a loser after the host said that one of his recent events was sparsely attended. “These guys are losers,” Trump said. “They’re crooked people.” “Of all the things I said about him last week!” reacted Kimmel. “Of all the many moronic, criminal words and details, that’s what bothers him? Me pointing out the fact that his rallies have empty seats? “Well, let’s do it again! There were many empty seats at the rally … There were even empty seats at the rally where he complained about me saying he had empty seats at the rally. “He keeps claiming that the reason there are empty seats at the back and the top is because people love him so much that they make their way down to the front. Isn’t it interesting that that never happens at a Lakers game?” This past weekend, Trump also floated the idea of naming the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean after himself. “Moby Dictator said he would like to change one of them to ‘Trump Ocean’,” Kimmel laughed. “He wants an ocean now. He can’t even manage a reflecting pool.” Explore more on these topics Late-night TV roundup Jimmy Kimmel TV comedy Comedy Television Trump administration Nobel peace prize features Share Reuse this content
