The president [sent out a tweet](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954788467069870081 "undefined") acknowledging the demonstrations and appearing to suggest that the women were out to celebrate the economic gains made during his first year in office. That assessment of the [Women’s March](http://time.com/5111273/womens-march-2018/ "undefined") gave Jimmy Kimmel pause, calling [Trump](http://time.com/5114360/jeff-sessions-interviewed-robert-mueller/?xid=homepage "undefined")’s response “perhaps his most breathtaking tweet of all time.” “Boy, he’s really bad at reading women,” said Kimmel on Monday night’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ “Only Donald Trump could find a way to make a protest that’s about him even more about him.” > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954788467069870081) The 2018 Women’s March took place across the globe, as women and their allies hit the streets on the anniversary of Trump’s inauguration. As Kimmel noted, “One thing you can say, Donald Trump got more women to exercise than Michelle Obama ever did.” Marchers were there not only to [protest Trump’s policies](http://time.com/5111480/womens-march/ "undefined") but in support of the #MeToo movement against sexual assault and harassment, and to register people to vote in the upcoming election. “It was truly a moving and inspirational weekend for American women,” Kimmel said, “and the poster board aisle at Office Max.” To prove his point, Kimmel highlighted some of his favorite signs that marchers held during the protests on Saturday, including ones featuring Trump that read “Miss Ogyny” and “Veto the Cheeto.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5114421/kimmel-trump-womens-march/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5114421/kimmel-trump-womens-march/"},"headline":"Jimmy Kimmel Had a Field Day With Trump’s Women’s March Response: 'Boy, He's Really Bad at Reading Women.'","datePublished":"2018-01-23T16:08:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:58.661Z","description":"\"Donald Trump got more women to exercise than Michelle Obama ever did,” said Kimmel","url":"https://time.com/5114421/kimmel-trump-womens-march/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Jimmy Kimmel","jimmy kimmel live","Late Night Television","women's march"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18ad19b46f03b589/6988f92e86f68e43ad6e8007/kimmel1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt18ad19b46f03b589/6988f92e86f68e43ad6e8007/kimmel1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"kimmel","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5114421/kimmel-trump-womens-march/","name":"Jimmy Kimmel Had a Field Day With Trump’s Women’s March Response: 'Boy, He's Really Bad at Reading Women.'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch 2018 Women's Marches Around The World","description":"While many attending Women’s Marches across the nation Saturday are voicing their opposition to the President on issues including immigration and abortion, Donald Trump said it was “a perfect day” for women to celebrate the “historic milestones” of h","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0cFINdZ6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-20T22:25:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0cFINdZ6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5114421/kimmel-trump-womens-march/","duration":"PT1M52S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5114421/kimmel-trump-womens-march/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
