In a hilarious and controversial segment, drag queen superstar Trixie Mattel, joined by a group of children, took a stand against Eric Trump's new book on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'. The segment started with a bang as Mattel, in her glamorous attire, asked the kids if she scared them, only to be met with awe and admiration. But here's where it gets interesting: Mattel, known for her wit and humor, decided to read Trump's book, 'Under Siege: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation', to the children.
She began by asking the kids which book they wanted to hear, emphasizing the democratic process. With a hint of sarcasm, she assured them that democracy was still intact, for now. The children agreed to hear a story about 'President Trump's least favorite son', and the reading commenced.
As Mattel read about Donald Trump's unconventional and politically incorrect nature, the children's reactions were priceless. One child suggested skipping the book entirely and going straight to lunch, while another praised Trump's presidency. But the most shocking moment came when a child boldly stated they would kick Eric Trump, with Mattel humorously escalating the situation.
The segment culminated in a dramatic fashion. Mattel, in a surprise move, declared that the book would make excellent confetti and proceeded to shred it in a trash shredder, much to the delight of the children. This act of defiance and humor sparked mixed reactions, with some finding it hilarious and others questioning its appropriateness.
Trixie Mattel, a renowned business mogul and musician, has been making waves as a top YouTube creator. Her recent appearance on The Hollywood Reporter's Creators Issue cover and her inclusion in THR's Creators A-List for 2025 alongside co-host Katya Zamolodchikova further solidify her influence. But this segment raises questions: Was it a harmless joke or a political statement? Where do we draw the line between humor and disrespect?
