When Kim Kardashian appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on April 22nd, 2024, fans might not have expected the conversation to cover Donald Trump. Other possible topics might have been the awe-inspiring lifestyle Kim leads thanks to being a member of the rich Kardashian-Jenner family, her family life, or her clothing business Skims.

However, huge Kim Kardashian fans know that she once spent quite a bit of time meeting with Donald Trump when he was in the White House. Since several years have passed since that initial meeting and Trump was in court for his hush money trial in April 2024, it’s hard not to be curious about what Kim thinks about him now.

In this article, we’ll take a look at how Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump got along before her Jimmy Kimmel interview, along with what she said about the former President during this episode.

Inside Kim Kardashian And Donald Trump’s Relationship Before Her Jimmy Kimmel Live! Comments

While Kim Kardashian talked about Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, there is a lot more to the story of their relationship. It’s important to note that things started out well between the two… but their relationship was a negative one before her comments on Kimmel. According to Business Insider, Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump talked about criminal justice reform at the White House in 2018 and 2020. In 2018, Trump tweeted, “Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing.”

Business Insider reported that Donald Trump was then angry when Kim Kardashian asked him to release someone from prison, he said, according to the book “Tired Of Winning” by Jonathan Karl:

“Hell no. You voted for Biden and now you come asking me for a favor?”

The love triangle between Tiger Woods and Kim Kardashian resulted in Tiger dating Lindsey Vonn.

Donald Trump even hung up when talking to Kim Kardashian in 2021. This was several years before her April 2024 Jimmy Kimmel live! interview and proof that their relationship soured after they initially seemed to get along. While Trump was once open to hearing what Kim had to say, it sounds like he didn’t want to talk to her anymore and wasn’t going to consider helping her prison reform cause.

While the two figures seemed to be able to have a polite conversation about prison sentences and justice back in 2018, things changed just a few years later. Donald Trump also called Kim Kardashian “overrated,” which is definitely insulting. This proves that even though they once got along, their relationship changed and he didn’t seem willing to say anything nice or positive about her.

It appeared as though Donald Trump and Hugh Hefner were close, but things took a turn before the death of the Playboy founder.

According to The Hill, Trump tweeted about Karl’s claim in his book “Tired Of Winning” that Trump wanted Kim to ask football players to make a White House visit. Trump tweeted:

“In the ‘book’ he has the World’s most overrated celebrity, Kim Kardashian, supposedly telling me that she ‘would leverage her celebrity to get football stars to come to the White House,’ if I would commute the sentences of various prisoners. This story is Fake News in that she would be the last person I asked to get football players.”

While Trump’s claim that Kim is “overrated” proves that he isn’t a fan of hers, there is even more proof that the former President doesn’t like this member of the Kardashian family.

According to OK! Magazine, Trump answered questions about various celebrities in 2023 on the podcast Full Send. Trump called Kim “disingenuous,” which might not be surprising, given the other things that he said about her in the past.

As she shared in a 2023 interview with Time Magazine, Kim has cared about criminal justice for a long time and has tried to help get people released from prison. Since this was a cause close to her heart, Kim must have been happy to talk to the then President about it. Since Donald Trump began insulting Kim Kardashian a few years after they discussed criminal justice in 2018, that must have been upsetting for her. She was particularly passionate about helping Alice Marie Johnson who was given a life sentence for a conspiracy related to substances.

Donald Trump insulted Kim Kardashian’s pregnant body in 2013. According to Us Weekly, he appeared on HLN’s Showbiz Tonight and said, “She’s gotten a little bit large.” Kim was pregnant with North West, her first child.

Kim said:

“I don’t think he likes me very much. But… I think he did amazing stuff with prison reform and let a lot of people out and signed an amazing bill with the First Step act and that’s what I’ll focus on.”

While Kim Kardashian has stayed super quiet about her romance with Odell Beckham Jr., sources have shared a few compelling details.

Kim referenced The First Step Act that Trump signed in 2018. According to Vox, Trump said that the law “gives nonviolent offenders the chance to reenter society as productive, law-abiding citizens.”

Since Donald Trump has insulted Kim Kardashian multiple times, fans wouldn’t blame Kim Kardashian if she said that she wasn’t a big fan of his, either. However, it seems that she wanted to stay positive during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
