\n\tEven with iconic drag queen Trixie Mattel<\/a> reading Eric Trump<\/a>\u2018s new book, kids still aren\u2019t amused by it.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>, the former RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race winner hosted a storytime with several children, but it ultimately ended with her and the kids literally trashing President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2018s son\u2019s book, Under Siege: My Family\u2019s Fight to Save Our Nation.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDo I scare any of you?\u201d Trixie first asked the kids when she sat down in a full glam, to which one responded, \u201cNo. You just look amazing. Why would that be scary?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter, she asked the group which book they wanted her to read, quipping, \u201cThis is, after all, a democracy.\u201d She quickly clarified, \u201cAs of this morning, it\u2019s still a democracy. I\u2019m not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMattel eventually convinced them to read a book \u201cabout President Trump\u2019s least favorite son,\u201d referring to Eric Trump\u2019s Under Siege. She then read them a passage from the memoir: \u201cDonald Trump is certainly unconventional. He\u2019s certainly not politically correct. He also has a heart of gold and is the greatest father a son or daughter could ever have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the kids chimed in, saying, \u201cOK, I\u2019mma stop you right there. Instead of skipping this page, we should skip the entire book. No, instead, we should skip the entire storytime and just go straight to lunch because I\u2019m pretty hungry right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMattel then read another passage: \u201cHow is it that my father, who spent over four decades in the public eye, never once received a speeding ticket, triumphed in the 2016 campaign and became president of the United States, and was suddenly charged with almost every crime imaginable, and many unimaginable, in the aftermath?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat doesn\u2019t make any sense,\u201d one kid yelled, while another added, \u201cI think I want to say good job for him to being the president.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, it was the next child\u2019s remark that shocked Mattel. A third child said, \u201cI would kick him in the [bleep].\u201d The drag queen jokingly replied, \u201cOh, wow! So, kind of escalating quickly this evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut it was actually at the very end of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment when things really escalated with Mattel\u2019s surprise \u201cscience experiment.\u201d After she and the kids went outside, she said, \u201cThis might not be a great book, but it\u2019s going to make excellent confetti.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tMattel then threw Under Siege into a trash shredder as the group of children cheered.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe business mogul and musician, who has become one of the leading creators on YouTube, recently graced the cover of The Hollywood Reporter\u2018s Creators Issue<\/a>, alongside YouTube CEO Neal Mohan\u00a0and a handful of other top creators. Mattel was also named one of 2025\u2019s most powerful influencers on THR\u2018s Creators A-List<\/a>, alongside her The Bald and the Beautiful co-host, Katya Zamolodchikova.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even with iconic drag queen Trixie Mattel reading Eric Trump\u2018s new book, kids still aren\u2019t amused by it.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[489,65,156,63950,7182,111,139,69,63951],"class_list":{"0":"post-83564","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-eric-trump","12":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","13":"tag-new-zealand","14":"tag-newzealand","15":"tag-nz","16":"tag-trixie-mattel"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
