Jimmy Kimmel Says His Kids Know Trump Hates Him

Jimmy Kimmel My Kids Know Trump Hates Me Published August 24, 2026 7:22 AM PDT Jimmy Kimmel's kids are growing up and learning a lot more about what their father does ... namely, getting under the President's skin. Jimmy and his wife, Molly McNearney, were guests on "Armchair Expert" ... and they told hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman their kids know President Trump despises their dad for dunking on him all the time ... and that's a little scary -- but also funny. The late-night talk show host and his wife say they had to sit the kids down for the talk ... no, not that one ... after helicopters and media converged on their home at the height of Jimmy and Trump's beef. They say the kids asked, "Is this Donald Trump's fault?" Jimmy and Molly told the kids Trump was to blame ... and they say in their house, Trump is known as a "villain" ... comparing him to Dr. Evil. To say Trump and Kimmel don't like each other is an understatement -- they freaking hate each other ... and the President has tried to get Jimmy fired several times. As you know ... Disney just sued the Federal Communications Commission over the agency's early review of their local broadcast licenses ... which happened in response to Jimmy's repeated jokes about Trump. Jimmy says Trump is the only Prez their kids have ever known ... so POTUS beefing with daddy feels like a normal thing to them. 🤷 Related articles Dax Shepard Donald Trump Jimmy Kimmel Molly McNearney Monica Padman President Trump Celebrity News Jimmy Kimmel ABC Suspension Podcasts Altercations Viral Comedians Legal
