President Donald Trump reignited his feud with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, unleashing a series of attacks on social media after Kimmel criticized his poll numbers and mocked a recent White House dinner with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Trump’s rant

In a recent Truth Social post, Trump questioned why ABC continues to employ the comedian, writing, âWhy does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with NO TALENT and VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS, on the air? Why do the TV Syndicates put up with it? Also, totally biased coverage. Get the bum off the air!!!â
The post came shortly after Kimmel used his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue to take aim at Trump over several topics, including the former presidentâs past associations with the late predator Jeffrey Epstein and his dwindling approval ratings.
Kimmel mocks Trump

During the monologue, Kimmel mocked Trumpâs decision to host what he described as a lavish black-tie gala for the Crown Prince, saying, âThey had a murderer for dinner at the White House last night. Trump hosted a black tie gala for the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, who also happened to be one of Jeffrey Epstein’s good pals. According to the writer Michael Wolff, Epstein and MBS, as they call him, were so tight they would play video games together for hours.â
Kimmel also displayed a poll showing only 38% approval for Trumpâs performance in the White House, likening the dinner event to âan alumni dinner for the Legion of Doom.â
Kimmel’s show

The public clash adds to a long history of animosity between the two. In September, Trump celebrated when ABC temporarily suspended Kimmelâs show following comments the comedian made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Trump posted at the time, âGreat News for America: The ratings-challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if thatâs possible.â
Kimmel’s return

When Kimmel eventually returned to the air, Trump again lashed out at ABC, suggesting potential legal action.
âWhy would they want someone back who does so poorly, whoâs not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC, and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think weâre going to test ABC out on this. Letâs see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings,” he wrote.
