Jimmy Kimmel Burns Donald Trump Over ‘Dumbest Thing He’s Come Up With Since Don Jr.’

Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday dubbed Donald Trump the “Tariff of Nottingham” over the president-elect’s vow to hike tariffs as soon as he’s back in the White House.

Trump wants “a 25% tax on all products that enter the country from Mexico and Canada and a 10% additional tariff on products from China,” Kimmel noted.

“So now if you want to purchase a tie from the Donald J. Trump collection, you better get it immediately or it’s going to cost an extra 10%,” Kimmel cracked.

“Almost everyone who knows anything about economics believes these tariffs to be a terrible idea,” Kimmel said, before deploying this zinger about Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr.: “Some say this is the dumbest thing he’s come up with since Don Jr.”

“Whoever would have guessed that the mail-order steaks salesman who declared bankruptcy six times would be so bad with money,” Kimmel deadpanned.
