Donald Trump reignited his long‑running feud with Jimmy Kimmel after the ABC host delivered a sharp late‑night monologue. The President lashed out on social media, calling Kimmel a “man with no talent.” He also demanded that ABC take the late‑night host off the air.
Donald Trump slams Jimmy Kimmel after his monologue
On November 20, 2025, Donald Trump called for Jimmy Kimmel to be taken off the air.
The demand came after Kimmel mocked Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein on his late-night show. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Why 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!!!”
Kimmel opened his monologue referencing Epstein: “Thank you for joining us here at our home quarters here in Hollywood, where we are carefully following the path of hurricane Epstein right now. It is a category 5. It’s expected to make landfall sometime very soon.” He continued, “We are now one step closer to answering the question: what did the president know, and how old were these women when he knew it?”
Kimmel also criticized Trump for hosting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at a White House dinner earlier that week. “And with all this going on, they 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,” he said.
Kimmel added, “All the best people were there, including Trump, the evil prince, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, even Stephen Miller shows up, which is unusual, since he rarely feeds outside his terrarium. Elon Musk was there. An alumni dinner for the legion of doom.”
ABC temporarily suspended Kimmel in September after he speculated that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin might be a Trump supporter. Trump also accused ABC News of bias during an Oval Office exchange with reporter Mary Bruce, saying, “I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake. And it’s so wrong.” (via Fox News)
