Donald Trump has voiced his disapproval over ABC's decision to bring back Jimmy Kimmel to television. The former president took to Truth Social to express his disbelief, questioning the motives behind ABC's move. According to Trump, something changed between Kimmel's suspension and his return, leading Trump to speculate that Kimmel's audience dwindled and his "talent" was never present to begin with.
"I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back," Trump lamented, highlighting his discontent with the network's judgment.
Trump's tirade continued as he questioned why ABC would want someone he perceives as unfunny and detrimental to the network's credibility back on air. He accused Kimmel of being overly biased towards Democrats, suggesting that this alignment with the Democratic National Committee is illegal.
With tensions escalating, Trump warned of potential legal action against ABC, labeling the network "a true bunch of losers." His frustration with what he calls "fake news" continues to simmer, as he remains vocal about his grievances.
Meanwhile, Kimmel isn't backing down. On his first night back, he addressed Trump's criticisms head-on, encouraging viewers to stand up against what he described as bullying behavior by the former president. Kimmel asserted that the issue extends beyond comedy, pointing to Trump’s alleged attempts to intimidate journalists as well.
The comedian did not shy away from discussing the controversy that led to his temporary removal from air. Kimmel clarified his comments regarding Charlie Kirk, which had sparked backlash, and took the opportunity to express solidarity with those impacted by the political climate.
As "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" resumes, the fallout from Trump's remarks continues to spark conversations about the intersection of political power and entertainment. Only time will tell how this public feud will unfold.
