Trump Makes Prediction About Hosting Kennedy Center Honors: “If I Can’t Beat Out Jimmy Kimmel In Terms Of Talent, Then I Don’t Think I Should Be President”

Donald Trump presented this year’s Kennedy Center honorees with their medals in an Oval Office ceremony o Saturday, but he also made some predictions of how the ceremony will do in the ratings and how he will do in hosting the event.

Namely, Trump said he would do better than Jimmy Kimmel, the late night host who has emceed multiple Oscar broadcasts.

“We have never had a president hosting the awards before. This is the first,” Trump told reporters.

“I’m sure they’ll give me great reviews, right? You know, they’ll say he was horrible. He was terrible. It was a horrible situation. No, we’ll do fine,” Trump said.

Trump then went on to say that he has “watched some of the people that host. Jimmy Kimmel was horrible, and some of these people. If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be president.”

Trump also predicted that Sunday’s show, which will be taped to air later in the month on CBS, “will be the highest rated show they’ve ever done.”

“They’ve gotten some pretty good ratings, but there’s nothing like what’s going to happen tomorrow night.”

More to come.
