Jimmy Kimmel has already made his feelings clear about the very creepy letter and drawing Donald Trump allegedly sent to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday, which was recently made public by the House Oversight Committee — and now he's turned his attention to the Republicans scrambling to defend the president.
In the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above from Tuesday night's show, the host plays footage of Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett suggesting the signature on the letter is fake, before saying he's "never known Trump to be much of an artist."
"Oh well, then he couldn't have done it, right?" says Kimmel. "Not much of an artist, what are you talking about? He's an amazing artist, he's a con artist, he's a bulls**t artist...he paints his whole face orange every day."
Kimmel then moves on to the signature, which some Trump allies are claiming is either fake or the product of an autopen.
"They're saying it doesn't look like his signature and it could've been an autopen, which is a device that makes an exact replica of your signature," says Kimmel. "Which one is it? Is it exactly his signature or is it not his signature at all? It can't be both. And here's the other thing — this book is 22 years old. Who would've been faking Donald Trump's signature in a private birthday book in January of 2003? The Apprentice wasn't even on the air yet. This would've required an extraordinary amount of planning."
