When asked about the killings<\/a> of Minneapolis citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good, Trump said he was \u201cnot happy\u201d with their deaths but also insisted, \u201cHe was not an angel, and she was not an angel.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t know anything about those people,\u201d Kimmel told Trump. \u201cHow dare you weigh in on what they were and what they weren\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cKeep your stupid thoughts in your diaper where they belong on this subject,\u201d Kimmel said. <\/p>\n The late-night host added, \u201cAnd second of all, while we\u2019re identifying angels: Jeffrey Epstein was your best friend, so maybe leave angels out of the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump has denied having known anything about Epstein\u2019s sex-trafficking crimes, despite his many mentions<\/a> in the Epstein files that have been released so far and having made contradictory comments<\/a> over the years. <\/p>\n In the NBC interview, Trump also said of the two shootings, \u201cYou know who feels worse about it than anybody? The people of ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are a lot of people who would think it would be the parents or the spouses or the children of the victims,\u201d said Kimmel. \u201cBut then, you know, there are a lot of people who don\u2019t have a brain that\u2019s shrunken down smaller than one of an Oompa Loompa\u2019s balls.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel joked further, \u201cIt\u2019s like what John Wayne Gacy told the cops when they found all the bodies in his basement: \u2018Nobody\u2019s more torn up about this than me!\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n Although Trump has repeatedly defended ICE\u2019s actions in Minneapolis, he has seemingly backed down from the federal aggression towards the city. <\/p>\n On Wednesday, his administration announced it would withdraw 700 ICE agents from Minneapolis, although 2,000 will still remain. <\/p>\n Kimmel showed another clip from Trump\u2019s NBC interview where the president claimed he had \u201cfive cities\u201d that he\u2019s \u201cvery strongly\u201d considering sending a wave of ICE agents into. He added, \u201cBut we want to be invited.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey want to be invited,\u201d Kimmel mocked. \u201cIsn\u2019t that the plot of the movie Sinners\u2014you have to invite the monsters in?”<\/p>\n Obsessed with pop culture and entertainment?
