Donald Trump's appearances with the press seem to be going from bad to worse, with the president sitting down recently for an NBC interview in which he spoke about the deadly ICE shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti — saying "he was not an angel and she was not an angel."

"First of all, you don't know anything about those people," says Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above. "How dare you weigh in on what they were or what they weren't? Keep your stupid thoughts in your diaper, where they belong on this subject."

Kimmel goes on to break down all the lowlights of Trump's interview, starting with the president saying ICE feels "worse about it than anybody."

"Right, right. A lot of people would think it'd be the parents, or the spouses, or the children of the victims, but then there are a lot of people who don't have a brain that's shrunken down smaller than one of an oompa-loompa's balls," says Kimmel. "It's like what John Wayne Gacy told the cops when they found all the bodies in his basement: 'Nobody's more tore up about this than me.'

Finally, Kimmel plays a clip of Trump moaning about "bad publicity" the shootings have caused.

"That's the real tragedy, the impact on the publicity," says Kimmel. "Nobody ever talks about the tens of thousands of people we don't murder at these protests. Trump said so many dumb and embarrassing things during this interview he may have to sue himself for another $10 billion."
