Jimmy Kimmel: Let's 'Make Donald Trump King'

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel planned a Trump-less show Tuesday night, including a "Bachelorette In Paradise" parody. But that all changed when President Trump "opened his mouth and all manner of stupid came out" during a testy Q-and-A with reporters Tuesday afternoon.

So instead, the late-night host spent the entirety of his "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" monologue talking all things Trump. He joked, "At this point I'd feel more comfortable if Cersei Lannister was running the country," referring to the evil queen on "Game Of Thrones," and "I think we might need an alt president right now."

When he moved on to the topic of getting Trump out of the White House, Kimmel presented a novel idea: Make him king. Kimmel said Trump obviously doesn't like the job, but he won't resign because his ego is too big. The remaining options are to impeach him — a difficult proposition — or do what Trump would do, and "make a deal."

Noting how the queen of England has "absolutely no power," he said, "We need to set him up in a castle, maybe in Florida, lead him to the top, and then lock the door to that castle."
