Jimmy Kimmel Mocks 'Very Rational' Donald Trump for Insulting Young Girl's Volleyball Dreams During Event

Despite the escalating feud between him and President Donald Trump, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel sarcastically described the POTUS as a "totally lucid, very rational, clear-minded, level-headed person" after Trump ranted about transgender rights and "men in women's sports" to a group of children, including young volleyball and soccer players.

Trump’s comments came during a White House event on Tuesday, May 5, celebrating the return of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award, which Trump revived as part of an attempt to bring back a school fitness test.

Kimmel highlighted a moment in which Trump allegedly hinted that a young girl in attendance was too short for volleyball, telling her, "soccer might be better.”

When the POTUS asked the little girl what sport she played, she replied, “I play volleyball, and then in the summer I’m trying to get into soccer.”

Trump then asked, “And with your height, do you smash the ball, the volleyball. Do you get up high? Can you jump high?”

When the girl answered, “Not very,” Trump told her, “Soccer might be better.”

The president then added, “I’m just looking; I think she’d be a great soccer player,” telling the unimpressed child, “That’s good. Good luck, OK?”

“Very, very normal. Just a totally lucid, very rational, clear-minded, level-headed person sharing his thoughts on gender reassignment with a group of young kids,” Kimmel quipped in his Tuesday monologue.

Kimmel mocked the POTUS for his "disturbing" obsession with measuring the physical attributes of children.

Social media joined him, with political commentator Ed Krassenstein writing on X that Trump “mocked a little girl for being short and stomped on her ambitions.”

“The children thought they were going to the White House but ended up at the Circus... and not a good one!” quipped another.

“That little girl instinctively knows he’s insane, protecting her solar plexus from that pervert,” noted another of the child’s body language.

Another delved a bit deeper into Freudian territory, remarking, “I'm starting to think that Trump just really wants to be a girl. I mean, the amount of time he spends stewing and talking about it seems to indicate more than fear. Maybe he's projecting frustration about it because it represents a thwarted personal ambition.”

Earlier this year, Kimmel praised the U.S. Women's Hockey Team for declining a White House invitation after Trump joked about them, questioning whether he would be "impeached" for inviting them.

Kimmel later instructed the UCLA women's basketball team to bring a "fake trophy" to the White House to present to Trump.

The long-standing feud between Kimmel and Trump escalated this week following a series of monologues where Kimmel mocked the president and Melania Trump. The latest tensions center on Jimmy’s refusal to apologize for a joke and the Trump administration's subsequent pressure on ABC to fire him.
