"Oh, shut up, " Kimmel fired back at Trump on Nov. 4. "Just shut up. Please. Offer us a break for one day and shut that ridiculous mouth. You are such a spoiled child. Did you ever learn anything regarding manners or sportsmanship, or simple common decency? Nothing is ever your fault."

In an official note shared with USA TODAY, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle remarked, "Jimmy Kimmel is a no-talent loser who has beclowned himself with tanking ratings and by spewing disgusting lies to his dwindling audience. He is so devoid of actual talent that nobody with any commonsense would ever watch him unless it was to laugh at him."

You're like dog hair: You're on everything, " he quipped, later adding, "He cannot admit that anything is his fault.

Meyers, meanwhile, described the election results as the "big, clear-cut, unequivocal Trump repudiation Democrats have been desperately chasing for 10 years" and mocked Trump's argument that he was not on the ballot.
