Donald Trump is supposed to be running the country. Instead, heâs doom-scrolling late-night TV, hate-watching comedians, and rage-posting like a man whose ego is permanently on fire.
And nobody is making him crack faster than Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.
While Americans are worrying about shootings, health care, inflation, and global chaos, the President of the United States is glued to his television, obsessed with two men whose job is literally to make fun of him. The more they expose him, the more unhinged he becomesâand the more he proves their point.
đ Kimmel Turns Trumpâs Obsession Into a Punchline
On December 4, Jimmy Kimmel opened his show with a very specific âthank you.â
Google had just released its 2025 trending people list. Kimmel ranked #3 in the worldâahead of the Pope, ahead of Diddy.
And who did he credit?
âNone of this would have happened without the support of loyal viewers like President Trump,â Kimmel joked. âHeâs done so much this year to raise awareness of our show.â
It wasnât just a joke. It was a brutal truth wrapped in comedy.
Because just days earlier, at 12:49 a.m., Trump had posted yet another Truth Social tantrum about Kimmelâ11 minutes after the show ended on the East Coast. He watched the monologue, stewed, and then exploded online:
âWhy does ABC fake news keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with no talent and very poor television ratings, on the air? ⊠Get the bum off the air.â
Kimmelâs response:
âThanks for watching us on TV instead of on YouTube. Itâs viewers like you who keep us on the air, ironically.â
The President isnât just angry. Heâs the unpaid hype man for the very show he wants cancelled.
đŽ âFatigue,â Golf, and a Country in Crisis
While Trump insists heâs in âperfect healthâ and aced his cognitive test, even the New York Times is reporting signs of fatigue and a lighter schedule. Kimmel showed footage where Trump appears to nod off while Marco Rubio speaksâand roasted him:
âMaybe heâs so old he fell asleep in an afternoon meeting. Or maybe he just closed his eyes to better concentrate on filling his adult diaper.â
All of this happened as a horrific shooting in Washington, DC unfoldedâtwo National Guardsmen attacked, the suspect later revealed to have been granted asylum under Trumpâs watch.
Trumpâs response? Not sober leadership. Not unity. Not facts.
Instead, he posted about fake approval numbers, invented nicknames for Republicans, and spewed conspiracies about immigrants and the Somali community in Minnesota. He even threatened to freeze out South Africa from the G20 and cut aid because their president refused to play along with his âwhite genocideâ lies.
While the world dealt with crisis, Trump was online, screaming into the void.
đș Colbert & Kimmel: The âLate-Night Oppositionâ
Kimmel isnât alone. Stephen Colbert has been hammering Trump night after nightâon his lies, his rage, his legal disasters, and his bizarre fixation on his own TV coverage.
Trump has responded the only way he knows how: threats and censorship.
Heâs tried to pressure ABC. Heâs fantasized about firing Kimmel. Heâs cheered on FCC allies who want networks punished for âdisrespectingâ him.
And it doesnât stop there.
Trumpâs loyalist at the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, just rolled out a chilling new rule: journalists with Pentagon press credentials must sign a pledge promising not to report information that hasnât been explicitly authorizedâeven if itâs unclassified. Translation: if the regime doesnât approve the facts, youâre forbidden from telling the truth.
Kimmel put it plainly:
âThey want to pick and choose what the news is⊠itâs so important to have a free press. And it is nuts that we arenât paying more attention to it.â
While Trump tries to muzzle journalists and comedians, he canât control one thing: his own compulsion to watch them.
đŁ The One Thing Trump Canât Handle
Trump can handle investigations. He can handle lawsuits. He can even live with criminal indictments.
What he cannot handle⊠is being laughed at.
Kimmel keeps bringing up Jeffrey Epstein and Trumpâs name in those files. Colbert keeps highlighting the lies, the failures, the conspiracies. Both of them keep playing Trumpâs own words back to the American publicâwith a punchline he canât erase.
And Trump keeps proving their pointâby watching them obsessively, posting at 1 a.m., and turning their jokes into global news.
He wanted them silenced. Instead, he turned them into his most powerful criticsâand his most reliable ratings boost.
Every night, millions of Americans tune in and see the same thing:
A thin-skinned president, losing a very public fight⊠to two guys with a desk, a microphone, and a monologue.
