Jimmy Kimmel didn't appear to be upset over White House aide, Davis Ingle, slamming him in the press as he addressed the move on Monday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Toward the end of his opening monologue on his ABC late-night show on November 9, Kimmel, 58, quipped that the "White House got back to the important business of attacking him," as he discussed the "statement" he received from Ingle.

While on-air, the comedian read Ingle's statement, sharing, “I got another statement from White House spokesboy Davis Dingle, who wrote, ‘Jimmy Kimmel’s case of Trump Derangement Syndrome is so advanced that it has completely rotted his peanut-sized brain. He’s far more entertaining when you’re laughing at him than with him. But unfortunately, his real talent is his failing ratings.’”

After reading Ingle's scathing statement, he mocked the White House staffer, joking, “Sick burn, bro. You know what? You should enter a rap battle spitting dope rhymes like that.”

“Trump now has interns insulting me. It’s like that sad day when your cat gets too fat to chase mice,” Kimmel further said.

“This guy says, ‘I have a peanut-sized brain.’ Let me explain something. I know you’re young. That’s impossible. You know what happens when you try to run a full human body with a peanut sized brain?” he added.

Following Kimmel's question, Jimmy Kimmel Live! producers then cut to footage of Trump attempting to correctly pronounce “human genome” during a speech at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

“You start saying things like that guy,” Kimmel teased. “He has a brain like a ‘panut.’” Kimmel previously addressed Ingle on-air, doing so in October when he ribbed Trump's White House employee for claiming he was “devoid of actual talent.”

Kimmel joked in his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue at the time, “The White House also issued a not so fabulous statement today about me in response to my monologue. And to be honest, I’m not even sure which one pissed them off.”

Despite the backlash from the White House Kimmel continues to mock Trump

He continued, “I’m sorry you don’t think I have talent, Davis. Maybe you’ll like this one. Give it a chance.”

Despite the backlash that Jimmy sometimes catches for blasting the POTUS, he still continues to use his nightly program to mock Trump. Jimmy previously was accused of having, "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)," because of how much he consistently slams the commander-in-chief on-air.

Claims that Jimmy was suffering from TDS ramped up after a Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode that premiered on March 9 showed the comedian bashing Trump for launching a war with Iran. Jimmy's harsh criticism of Trump throughout the show ignited much outrage from netizens.
