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.
"Of all the many demonstrations against the president in his visit to the U.K. this week, I thought this was the most creative," Kimmel said. "A high school student who lives about five miles from the airport where Trump's plane was landing did a bit of manscaping on his parents' lawn. Now, unfortunately, we've had to blur this image for our viewers at home who are offended by lawn genitalia, but he mowed a giant penis into the grass next to the words 'Oi Trump.'" The teenager, Ollie Nancarrow, also mowed a polar bear and the phrase "Climate Change is Real." Kimmel asked Nancarrow why from his home in Bishop's Stortford, and it turns out his parents are proud of his work but the police were less impressed. Watch their chat below. Peter Weber
