The kids are alright.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! took to the streets Thursday to ask children what they thought of Donald Trump's first year in office. "On Saturday, President Trump celebrates his first year in office, it's been almost a year since inauguration," Jimmy Kimmel told his audience. Knowing Trump is unpopular with American adults, the talk show host wanted to find out instead how the president fared with kids. Of course, kids say the darndest things.
One child said that so far Trump has done a "great" job at saving the world from "harmony," while another said it would be nice if Trump would stop threatening North Korea because he would prefer not to "get nuked." Another young child dressed as Elsa from Frozen said she doesn't think Trump is "smart" because he "treats people badly."
Near the end of the segment, the kids were asked to perform impressions of Trump. Words won't do their impressions justice, so watch the clip below instead.
With Trump's approval rating at an abysmal 39 percent, the lowest number the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll has ever recorded for a president after a year in the Oval Office; it should come as no surprise that Trump is not popular with kids either.
Kimmel also hit the President over his botched rollout of the "Fake News Awards" Wednesday night. The talk show parodied Trump's awards with its own first "Dishonest and Corrupt President Awards." "I have to say, it was very thoughtful of the President to hand out awards to the media," Kimmel said. "Since he did that for us, on behalf of the media, I think it's only fair that we extend the same honor to him. Tonight, I’m pleased to present the Dishonest and Corrupt President Awards."
The awards were Best Fabricated Numbers, Least Convincing Display of Love, Best Self-Proclaimed Bestness, and Outstanding Achievement in Obama Fiction.
