Jimmy Kimmel skewers Donald Trump’s bizarre Oval Office remarks to children: ‘Very normal’

Jimmy Kimmel mocked Donald Trump's remarks to children in the Oval Office after the US president ranted about transgender rights and “men in women’s sports."

“You’ll never compete against women in powerlifting?” the president asked a young boy, who responded, “No, sir.”

" Did you see that they had a man power lifter, and he decided to go the opposite direction... He was a failed power lifter, but he went on the other side, and he decided that he wanted to go into women's sports, and he broke the record by 118 pounds," Trump added, without clarifying who he was referring to.

" Very, very normal. Just a, a totally lucid, very rational, clear-minded, level-headed person sharing his thoughts on gender reassignment with a group of young kids," Kimmel said.
