Donald Trump demands ABC drop Jimmy Kimmel following Epstein monologue

President Donald Trump is yet again coming up with ways to attack TV show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Following his September onslaught on Kimmel, Trump seems not to want to rest until he sees the full demise of the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! This all came to be after Jimmy made jokes about the Jeffrey Epstein controversy involving the President. Less than two months since being reinstated, Kimmel was again firing shots against the President, which provoked him to post about it.

Donald Trump went on his social media site, Truth Social, and posted,

“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!!!”

This came in response to the monologue Jimmy Kimmel said a few days earlier, criticizing not only the handling of the Epstein file case but also Trump's decision to host Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for a state dinner.

Jimmy took multiple shots at him in his monologue, saying,

“I have been ‘following the path of Hurricane Epstein … it is a category 5,’ What did the president know? And how old were these women when he knew it?”

And, "Every time he gets asked about Jeffrey Epstein, he loses his mind,"

He also called out the President's decision to demolish the East Wing of the White House to build a ballroom.

"If anyone thinks he's going to release all the Epstein files, I've got a beautiful East Wing of the White House to sell you."

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended in September

In September, Kimmel's show was suspended by ABC for making jokes about the President and his grievance with Charlie Kirk. However, the show was reinstated on 23rd September. To express his annoyance at this fact, Trump posted on Truth Social the next day,

"I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s 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 we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s 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," making similar remarks about his talent just like this time.

But Kimmel is not the first host that Trump went after this week. A few days back, Trump also posted about firing NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers,

Trending

“NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”

This came after; similar to Kimmel, Meyers was also making jokes about the President of the United States of America. It is safe to ask, who will the President go after next?
