💥 BREAKING NEWS: Trump erupts in fury as Jimmy Kimmel turns his late-night hate-watching into the most devastating takedowns on TV⚡NN

Donald Trump wanted to spend Thanksgiving week projecting strength. Instead, he handed Jimmy Kimmel the sharpest material of his career—and turned late night TV into a nightly referendum on his presidency, his power, and even his health.

It started with Trump’s now-infamous “Thanksgiving greeting” from Mar-a-Lago: a post that began like a standard holiday message before swerving into darkness. He thanked “great American citizens and patriots” who’d been “so nice” in allowing the country to be “divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at.”

Kimmel didn’t let it slide.

“They’re not laughing at America,” he told his audience. “They’re laughing at you.” One line—and suddenly Trump’s attempt at a strongman lament was reframed as something far more pathetic: a man desperate for validation, spiraling in public.

But the jokes were just the surface. Underneath, something else was happening: Trump’s physical and mental condition was becoming impossible to ignore.

In recent weeks, cameras have repeatedly caught him nodding off during cabinet meetings and international press conferences, head drooping as world leaders speak beside him. His right hand has been visibly bandaged, swollen, and discolored—fueling speculation about what’s really going on behind those carefully worded doctors’ notes.

Democratic Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove openly wondered whether Trump might be receiving an experimental Alzheimer’s treatment—pointing to his regular MRIs, visible hand infusions, and mounting fatigue. Pulmonologist and health commentator Dr. Vin Gupta raised his own red flags, noting how bizarre it is for any patient to boast about frequent cognitive tests and “preventative abdominal MRIs” that don’t match standard medical practice. He didn’t diagnose Trump—but he made one thing very clear: none of this passes the smell test.

And every time Trump tries to hide it, Kimmel turns it into a punchline.

At the Oscars, when Trump rage-posted that Kimmel was the “worst host in history,” Kimmel read the rant live on stage and fired back: “Thank you, President Trump. Isn’t it past your jail time?” It went instantly viral. Trump had tried to humiliate him—and instead became the setup for Kimmel’s best joke of the night.

When Trump gloated about acing a “cognitive test” and claimed his MRI “wasn’t of the brain,” Kimmel mocked the performance: “There are gas station bathrooms on Yelp with higher ratings than Donald Trump.” The more Trump bragged, the more unhinged he looked.

But the feud went from personal to dangerous in 2025.

After Kimmel torched Trump over the Epstein files, the Venezuela “drug boat” killings, and pardons for a Honduran cocaine trafficker, Trump’s FCC chair Brendan Carr issued mob-style threats against ABC—hinting that Kimmel’s job, and even the network’s license, could be on the line. Nexstar and Sinclair dropped the show. Disney suspended Kimmel.

Trump celebrated online. “Great news for America,” he posted. “Get the bum off the air.”

It backfired spectacularly.

Within days, more than 400 high-profile figures signed a free-speech letter. Disney+ cancellations surged. Even some Republicans called the FCC pressure “dangerous.” When Kimmel returned six days later, his comeback episode drew 6.26 million viewers—the most-watched regular show in his entire run. His monologue racked up tens of millions of views across platforms. The attempt to silence him had supercharged him instead.

Since then, the pattern has been brutally consistent:

• Trump hate-watches Kimmel, rage-posting at 12:49 a.m.
• Kimmel reads it, mocks it, and turns it into content.
• Trump demands he be fired—again.
• Kimmel’s audience gets bigger.

And now, with Trump’s public stumbles multiplying—slurred riffs, cabinet-room naps, strange medical notes, violent rhetoric, and off-the-rails social posts at all hours—Kimmel has something even more devastating than jokes: a storyline.

A storyline of a president who:

• Pardons a drug kingpin while bombing suspected “drug boats” and leaving survivors to die
• Threatens comedians while insisting he’s a victim of “censorship”
• Brags about perfect cognitive tests while visibly struggling to stay awake in his own meetings

Kimmel distilled it in one brutal truth:

“It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him. And it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too—you just don’t realize it yet.”

In the end, that’s what makes Kimmel such a problem for Trump. It’s not that he’s just mocking him. It’s that he’s turning Trump’s own words, habits, and obsessions into proof that the man who claims to be strong, feared, and respected is actually none of those things.

Trump can try to fire him, threaten his network, weaponize regulators, or smear him online.

But he can’t stop the one thing that hurts most:
Jimmy Kimmel has made it normal—and fun—for millions of people to laugh at Donald Trump.

For a man who needs constant worship, that might be the one wound that never heals.
