Donald Trump is supposed to be running the country. Instead, heās 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 becomesāand the more he proves their point.
š Kimmel Turns Trumpās Obsession Into a Punchline
On December 4, Jimmy Kimmel opened his show with a very specific āthank you.ā
Google had just released its 2025 trending people list. Kimmel ranked #3 in the worldāahead of the Pope, ahead of Diddy.
And who did he credit?
āNone of this would have happened without the support of loyal viewers like President Trump,ā Kimmel joked. āHeās done so much this year to raise awareness of our show.ā
It wasnāt 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 Kimmelā11 minutes after the show ended on the East Coast. He watched the monologue, stewed, and then exploded online:
āWhy 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.ā
Kimmelās response:
āThanks for watching us on TV instead of on YouTube. Itās viewers like you who keep us on the air, ironically.ā
The President isnāt just angry. Heās the unpaid hype man for the very show he wants cancelled.
š“ āFatigue,ā Golf, and a Country in Crisis
While Trump insists heās in āperfect healthā 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 speaksāand roasted him:
āMaybe heās so old he fell asleep in an afternoon meeting. Or maybe he just closed his eyes to better concentrate on filling his adult diaper.ā
All of this happened as a horrific shooting in Washington, DC unfoldedātwo National Guardsmen attacked, the suspect later revealed to have been granted asylum under Trumpās watch.
Trumpās 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 āwhite genocideā lies.
While the world dealt with crisis, Trump was online, screaming into the void.
šŗ Colbert & Kimmel: The āLate-Night Oppositionā
Kimmel isnāt alone. Stephen Colbert has been hammering Trump night after nightāon 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.
Heās tried to pressure ABC. Heās fantasized about firing Kimmel. Heās cheered on FCC allies who want networks punished for ādisrespectingā him.
And it doesnāt stop there.
Trumpās 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 hasnāt been explicitly authorizedāeven if itās unclassified. Translation: if the regime doesnāt approve the facts, youāre forbidden from telling the truth.
Kimmel put it plainly:
āThey want to pick and choose what the news is⦠itās so important to have a free press. And it is nuts that we arenāt paying more attention to it.ā
While Trump tries to muzzle journalists and comedians, he canāt control one thing: his own compulsion to watch them.
š£ The One Thing Trump Canāt 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 Trumpās name in those files. Colbert keeps highlighting the lies, the failures, the conspiracies. Both of them keep playing Trumpās own words back to the American publicāwith a punchline he canāt erase.
And Trump keeps proving their pointāby 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 criticsāand 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.
