Jimmy Kimmel interviews the British teenager behind London's most creative anti-Trump artwork

Jimmy Kimmel interviews a British prankster

During a state visit to London this week, President Trump was treated to British royal pomp, but "his tuxedo really stole the show — I didn't even know Huggies made tuxedos until now," Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. "It is funny, you have to admit, that the queen and the prince and the prime minister all have to pretend that this is normal and have dinners for Donald Trump. It's kind of a great prank that we pulled on them, really."

During a press conference Tuesday with Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump "was asked about the anti-Trump protests going on in London," Kimmel said, and he insisted Londoners were cheering for him. "Poor Theresa May looked like she swallowed a frog." He showed footage of the tens of thousands of people protesting Trump, often creatively, joking, "Well, if there's one thing Trump knows how to estimate, it's a crowd size." He laughed at the queen giving Trump a book as a gift — "That's funny, right?" — then ran through some of the more salacious bits of Michael Wolff's new tell-all book, Siege: Trump Under Fire.
