- *RuPaul's Drag Race* star Trixie Mattel led a drag storytime segment on *Jimmy Kimmel Live*, trashing Eric Trump's book.

- "Do I scare you?" Trixie asked a group of children, who replied, "You look amazing!'**

- Trixie and the kids then celebrated as they threw the book into a trash shredder.

As *Paris Is Burning,* *RuPaul's Drag Race*, and more have taught us, reading is fundamental — unless you're Trixie Mattel leading "Drag Queen Storytime" with a group of kids unamused by Eric Trump's book.

The *All Stars 3* winner and *Trixie Motel* hostess joined *Jimmy Kimmel Live* on Wednesday to head a satirical segment in which she entered a small library in the name of youth literacy. Kind of.

"Do I scare any of you?" Trixie asked the children as she sat down in a full face of makeup, to which one of them replied, "You just look amazing. Why would that be scary?"

Trixie and the children then sifted through a pile of books to decide what to read.

"What if we chose one together? This is, after all, a democracy," Trixie told them, before clarifying, "As of this morning, it's still a democracy. I'm not sure."

Among the choices? A title called *Who Cares About Elderly People *and another named *Collectible Spoons of the Third Reich* — neither of which worked out (obviously).

After the children booed at at the thought of reading a book by Donald Trump, Trixie proposed a solution: "What about President Trump's least favorite son?"

She then opened Eric's *Under Siege *and proceeded to read a passage aloud: "Donald Trump is certainly unconventional. He's certainly not politically correct. He also has a heart of gold and is the greatest father a son or daughter could ever have."

One of the kids butted in, telling her, "Okay, I'mma stop you right there. Instead of skipping this page, we should skip the entire book. No, instead, we should skip the entire storytime and just go straight to lunch because I'm pretty hungry right now."****Later, another child said she would "kick" Donald Trump "in the..." before the show bleeped out the rest of her response.

Finally, Trixie led the children outside for a "science experiment" involving a trash shredder.

"This might not be a great book, but it's going to make excellent confetti," Trixie said, tossing *Under Siege* into the machine and cheering as it was ripped apart.

Prior to Trump's re-election in November 2024, drag artists had been vocalizing pushback to conservative laws targeting trans and drag entertainers, particularly in states like Texas and Tennessee.

*Drag Race* season 15 star Aura Mayari spoke to EW about a 2023 bill that sought to classify drag shows as adult cabaret performances, and subsequently criminalize such shows as behavior it summarized as engaging in "male or female impersonations" in public spaces or in front of children, regardless of the nature of the performance.

"I am deeply upset and saddened to hear about the drag ban in Tennessee," Aura said at the time. "The state [proposed] this bill to protect children from seeing anything explicit, when in fact it is a mask used to hide the discrimination toward the LGBTQ+ community and the desire to erase drag. Public indecency is already illegal in Tennessee. This is yet another awful attempt at trying to take away our rights."

*Jimmy Kimmel Live* airs weeknights on ABC. Watch Trixie read *Under Siege *to children in the video above.
