Kimmel Reveals How Trump’s New Mouthpiece Caught His Eye

The Daily Beast/YouTube/Instagram Jimmy Kimmel has a theory about why President Donald Trump chose his new press secretary .

Trump, 80, has enlisted Katie Zacharia, 41, to replace Karoline Leavitt, 29, who left the position in August.

Zacharia, a former commentator for Newsmax and a qualified lawyer, is holding her first press briefing on Tuesday.

On Monday night, Kimmel, a long-time Trump nemesis, explained why Zacharia obtained the role.

“Katie met a number of qualifications for the job.

She has blonde hair.

She can do a thumbs-up.

End of list.

Really, what else do you need?” quipped the ABC host.

Kimmel displayed photographs of Zacharia posing in gym wear and giving a thumbs-up next to the president.

“Where do they all get that same face? Is that makeup, or do they have a machine that stamps it on?” he joked.

The late-night host concluded, “Katie is in for a long week,” as the president continues his antics.

This week, his attention seems to be on his unfair loss of the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Thanks a lot, Norway,” said Kimmel.
