Donald Trump has revived his feud with Jimmy Kimmel after posting another Truth Social post, hitting out at the late-night talk-show host.
Taking to his own platform, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Why does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with NO TALENT and VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS, on the air?”
He continued, “Why do the TV Syndicates put up with it? Also, totally biased coverage. Get the bum off the air!!!”
This comes following the heightened investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files, the late convicted sex offender with whom Donald Trump is alleged to have a previous connection. Trump has finally signed a bill to release the files, but has been shying away from questions on the matter during recent outings.
In his monologue on November 18th, Kimmel referenced this, sharing, “Trump is not a happy little meal right now. Every time he gets asked about Jeffrey Epstein, he loses his mind.”
Trump’s call to remove Kimmel from the air harkens back to his previous suspension; ABC previously suspended the host for nearly a week in September due to his comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
At that time, Trump was disgruntled that he was allowed back on air. He wrote online, “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there.”
The feud was also sustained by Kimmel, who hit back at Trump, claiming he “did his best to cancel me”. However, the President wasn’t able to do so, and “instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show”.
Recently, Saturday Night Live also parodied Trump’s relationship to the Epstein files. In one satire, the actor playing Trump stated: “Jeffrey Epstein, I barely knew the guy, as evidenced by the thousands of pictures of us together, dancing and grinding our teeth at various parties, always leering at something just off camera. Probably a book we’re excited to read.”
