The White House is going after Jimmy Kimmel again.

In the clip above the host responds to yet another statement from spokesperson Davis Ingle, who this time has accused Kimmel of having a "peanut-sized brain".

"Sick burn, bro. You know what, you should enter a rap battle spitting dope rhymes like that. Trump now has interns insulting me," says Kimmel. "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?"

Cue a clip of Trump trying and failing to pronounced the word "gnome" on stage.

"You start saying things like that guy," Kimmel says.
