Jimmy Kimmel Has 1 Burning Prison Question For 'Weird Man' Trump

Jimmy Kimmel is baffled by a report that Donald Trump is in “high spirits” ahead of his potential indictment this week.

The New York Post’s Page Six says Trump’s team is hoping to capitalize on the moment by filming his arrest and releasing a mug shot, and that Trump himself is “reveling” in the moment.
