Earlier in the interview, Clinton said she looked forward to debating Donald Trump – if he becomes the Republican nominee – but admitted that she doesn’t think he knows how the Prime Minister of Canada is. It looks like you’re fake.

Clinton’s appearance concluded with a satirical segment where Kimmel told her he could be her “secret weapon” to winning the presidential campaign, and asked her whether she knew what “mansplaining” was.

“I’m just going to wear this”, Clinton responded.

After a break, Kimmel got down to business by reading aloud one of Clinton’s most “boring” emails about things like ordering apples. “Do you know what that is?”

Actually“, the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live corrects the former Senator and Secretary of State, “it’s when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way”. She answered, “That’s when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing way”.

“Is that what you’re going to wear to do this?” he asked.

Hillary sighed and continued., “America is the greatest…” before Jimmy cut her off, telling her “Don’t smile like that cause it’s too forced”.

Past the point when the bit had run its course, Clinton stopped Kimmel to say his comments were a bit “contradictory”.

He continued:, “You’re not doing it right, I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s something”.

“You’re not? Because I’ve seen some of yours, and they’re not as good”, Kimmel said.
