Jimmy Kimmel sends a nasty reminder to Donald Trump about his popularity

Jimmy Kimmel is back on TV, and he is not backing down when it comes to Donald Trump.

And on Monday Kimmel hit Trump with a dig that the president probably won’t appreciate.

“I am more popular than the president of the United States,” Kimmel said.

And, according to a new YouGov poll, Kimmel is, in fact, more popular than Trump. The polling found that 44% of Americans approve of Kimmel, while 41% disapprove of him. Trump, meanwhile, had 41% of those polled say they approve of him while 54% said they did not approve of him.

“I lead Trump by 16 points,” Kimmel said. “I’m at plus three, he’s at minus 13.

“Considering the fact that I’m not a convicted felon, friend of Jeffery Epstein, and I’ve never paid off a porn star, sent a team of masked goons into a park to pull an old lady away from her grandchildren, I feel like my rating should be higher, maybe even?” he said. “At this point, finding a toenail in your salad has a seven-point lead over Donald Trump.”

The White House is aware of the poll and has already hit back with a response.

“Over 77 million Americans showed up on Election Day to cast their ballots for President Donald J. Trump, who is delivering n his overwhelming mandate to put America First,”” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Newsweek. “Jimmy Kimmel prays every night to garner a fraction of the support to keep his show on air after ratings dropped 64 percent last week. Sad!”
