Fox News hosted Donald Trump for a town hall on Wednesday that was designed to focus on issues relevant to women. But Jimmy Kimmel saw the event as nothing more than "propaganda," topped only by the nickname Trump gave himself

Held in Georgia, the town hall audience was comprised entirely of women. The former president sat on stage with Fox News personality Harris Faulkner to answer questions and explain some of his policy positions.

However, the questions were far and few between. And while Kamla Harris sat for a combative interview on Fox later that night, Trump appeared to have one softball question after another tossed his way.

"This was like North Korea-level propaganda," Kimmel said in response to the town hall. "This was a handpicked audience of Trump-loving women in Georgia."

The comedian then called out Trump for sharing a "made-up" story about a woman who can only afford two apples instead of three. Kimmel also blasted Trump for dodging a question about electric vehicles by simply stating Elon Musk was a friend.

But what really seemed to get Kimmel's attention was when Trump referred to himself as "the father of IVF." The late-night TV host reminded his audience that IVF has been around since 1978 before taking another jab at Trump: "This guy won't even admit to being the father of Eric, and he's the father of IVF? Maybe that's short for 'Ivanka' in his brain."

Kimmel argued that it was clear why Trump held an all-women town hall. The former president needs their vote to compete with Vice President Harris. That gave Jimmy Kimmel Live! the inspiration for a Golden Bachelor spoof called "The Golden Fatchelor."

There are only a few weeks left before the election. That means events like Trump's town hall are coming to an. But what is left on the schedule will surely top whatever came before it as the ex-president makes his final pitches for a White House return. Expect Jimmy Kimmel to have a lot to say.
