Trump hosted the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday, and was quick to compare his own hosting abilities with that of his least favorite host, Jimmy Kimmel — who he described as "terrible" and "horrible."

"That is very hurtful," Kimmel says in the clip. "I thought we were friends. I don't know what's going on. He is really fixated. I'm starting to think he might have a crush on me."

Kimmel goes on to play a clip of Trump saying, "If I can't beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don't think I should be president."

"Agreed," Kimmel responds. "I'm with you. I don't think I've ever agreed with anything more than that."
