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!”
