đ„ Rewritten Article (Dramatic, Coherent, Highly Engaging)
Donald Trump has tried a lot of things to silence his critics â but nothing exposes his thin skin quite like his obsession with Jimmy Kimmel and Ana Navarro.
It started, as it often does, in the middle of the night.

Kimmel woke up to his wife telling him Trump had posted yet another rant: a Truth Social screed demanding that ABC and its âfake newsâ overlords fire âJimmy Kimmel, a man with no talent and very poor television ratings.â The timestamp? 12:49 a.m.
Exactly 11 minutes after Kimmelâs show ended on the East Coast.
Trump wasnât just watching.
He was hate-watching live.
On air, Kimmel roasted him with a smile: he thanked Trump for being one of the âviewers like you who keep us on the air,â then dropped the line that instantly went viral:
âMr. President, Iâll go when you go. Weâll be a team. Weâll ride off into the sunset together like Butch Cassidy and the suntan kid. And until then⊠quiet, piggy.â
That âquiet piggyâ phrase wasnât random. It was a boomerang.

Kimmel reminded his audience that Trump once snapped at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey on Air Force One â telling her, âQuiet, quiet, piggy,â when she dared ask him about Jeffrey Epstein. Kimmel simply took that insult and threw it back in Trumpâs face on national television.
And Trump, already drowning in a historic sex scandal and tanking approval numbers, could only scream about ratings â even though Kimmelâs show was outdrawing his collapsing second-term favorability.
⥠Ana Navarro: Trumpâs Long-Term Nightmare
Kimmel isnât alone in this fight. His most dangerous ally might be Ana Navarro, the Republican strategist-turned-TV slayer who has been torching Trump for nearly a decade.
The video flashes back to October 2016, when the Access Hollywood tape exploded. Navarro went on CNN and did what no one expected â she said the vulgar word Trump used on the tape out loud, repeatedly. When Trump supporter Scotty Nell Hughes begged her to stop because her daughter was watching, Navarro delivered an iconic clapback:
âDonât tell me youâre offended when I say the word, but youâre not offended when Donald Trump says it.â
From there, she became a one-liner machine:
- Comparing Trumpâs defenders to â50 shades of crazy.â
- Saying if Trump wants to be held to the standards of an erotic movie, he should call his memoir âThe Art of the Groping.â
- Calling him a âcrazy lunatic 70-year-old man babyâ who needs to stop acting like a mean girl and start acting like a president.
Navarroâs entire brand became simple: say what everyone else is too scared to say â and say it with precision.
đ Hurricane Epstein: Files, Friends, and Fury
When the Epstein files became the biggest story in the country, Navarro and Kimmel went nuclear.
Navarro reminded viewers that Trump once gleefully told a reporter in 2002 that Epstein âlikes women on the younger side.â She pointed out that they werenât just âassociatesâ â they were close for years, appearing in photos together, attending each otherâs events, flying on each otherâs planes. According to her, their falling-out had more to do with a real estate deal than moral outrage.
She blasted not just Trump but the entire network of rich, powerful men who helped rehabilitate Epstein in âpolite societyâ after his first conviction. On The View, she said she couldnât even talk about tax or health care because she couldnât get past the fact that the president âlacks sufficient characterâ and is âimmature, unstable, nasty, and mean.â

At one point she summed up womenâs real sentiment:
âWomen donât want to be protected by Trump. They want to be protected from Trump.â
Her Instagram list, âThings I Trust More Than Trump,â went insanely viral. It included:
- Flint, Michigan tap water
- Gas station sushi
- Bill Cosby as a bartender
- A Harvey Weinstein movie role
- Dinner with Jeffrey Dahmer
- And the killer punchline: âJD Vance alone on my living room couch.â
It pulled tens of thousands of likes and spawned endless spin-offs â and probably another midnight Trump meltdown.
The Trump White House responded with official statements attacking Navarro as dumb, biased, and suffering âTDSâ â and even misspelled her name. Twice. On official stationary. Over a daytime talk show host.
Thatâs how rattled they were.
đș Kimmel vs. Censorship â and Trumpâs Worst Backfire
Kimmel, meanwhile, focused on the Epstein files themselves. When Congress voted overwhelmingly to release them, he opened his show calling it âHurricane Epsteinâ â a category 5 storm heading straight for powerful men.
Then came the Watergate-style gut punch:
âWeâre now one step closer to answering the question: What did the president know, and how old were these women when he knew it?â
He mocked a pro-Trump lawyer who said investigators would have âdiverged this information,â joking she must have gone to âthe same law school as Kim Kardashian.â
He called out Trump for trying to block the files, then suddenly pretending to support their release once the vote was inevitable, joking we might get âEpstein Files: Donnyâs Version,â like a sinister Taylor Swift remix.
And when the Trump administration allegedly leaned on the FCC chairman to pressure ABC affiliates to yank Kimmelâs show â and Kimmel was briefly suspended â Navarro and The View came roaring back. Whoopi Goldberg told viewers, âNo one silences us.â Navarro warned that dictators always go after the press first.
The backlash was instant and massive. Kimmel was restored within days. His return episode pulled over 6 million viewers â the biggest of his career.
Trump tried to shut him up.
He made him bigger.
đ The One Thing Trump Canât Handle
Now, every time Trump attacks, Kimmel shrugs, makes bagels for his kids, and turns it into another monologue. Navarro drops another viral insult â calling him the âorange buffoonâ who knows heâs losing, or blasting his baseless DEI blame game after a deadly crash.
Together, theyâve cracked the code:
Trump can handle investigations. He can handle scandals.
What he cannot handle⊠is being mocked.
And every time Kimmel and Navarro roast him with facts and punchlines, he proves it â in real time, at 1:00 a.m., in all caps.
