Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Eric Trump’s New Memoir With Savage Title Twist

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Eric Trump on Tuesday following the release of his new memoir Under Siege. True to form, Kimmel didn’t hold back — first mocking the book’s title by dubbing it The Shart of the Deal, a crude nod to Donald Trump’s ghostwritten bestseller The Art of the Deal. Kimmel also broke the classic rule of not judging a book by its cover, cracking that the photo shows Eric “with his dad out front of the White House hoping to one day get invited inside.” He went on to spotlight Donald Trump’s foreword to the book, which praises Eric as “a winner at everything he sets his mind to.” With tongue firmly in cheek, Kimmel followed up with mock sincerity: “And let’s make something very clear. Some of you may think Eric is some kind of chinless nepo baby who was handed everything on a silver platter and wouldn’t even be writing a book if his dad wasn’t president — but that would be incorrect. Eric is his own man and his success has nothing to do with his father at all. He barely even mentions his father.” Moments later, Kimmel rolled a montage of Eric Trump repeatedly mentioning his dad over and over again in a Fox News interview — perfectly driving home the punchline. #JimmyKimmel #EricTrump #TrumpFamily #UnderSiege #LateNightTV #PoliticalHumor #Satire #ViralMoment #PopCultureNews #HuffPost
