‘Shame On You!’: Jimmy Kimmel Spots ‘Weird’ Trump Move On ‘3 Young Attractive Women’

Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday said President Donald Trump gave his “least secret admirer,” Natalie Harp, an ethically dubious $45,000 Christmas bonus last year, according to new disclosures. “He gave her a wad of cash like you do a babysitter,” he said. “You know, the neighbor girl comes over and does a diaper change. That’s the sort of thing.” Harp is nearly always at the president’s side or close by. But as Kimmel noted, she wasn’t the only member of Trump’s staff to get some cash for the holidays. “See if you notice anything that these bonus-ees have in common,” he said as he showed images of Trump communications adviser Margo Martin and deputy director of Oval Office operations Chamberlain Harris, who also got $45,000 each. “It’s like ‘Charlie’s Angels’ in there,” he cracked, adding that Trump did give a single male aide, Walt Nauta, a bonus as well. “Walt got $20,000, which is less than $45,000,” Kimmel pointed out. “He doesn’t look great in a dress.” Ethics experts called the payments sketchy. “These are U.S. government employees,” Richard Painter, the White House’s chief ethics lawyer under former President George W. Bush, told The Washington Post. “If you want a job where you get tips, you shouldn’t be working for the U.S. government.” But Kimmel sarcastically suggested there’s no issue here at all. “There’s absolutely nothing unusual about an 80-year-old billionaire president giving the three young attractive women in his office 45,000 bucks each,” he snarked. “You’re the weird one for even thinking that, and shame on you!” Check it out in his Wednesday night monologue: By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
