Trump And Kimmel’s Ongoing Feud Heats Up Again
Donald Trump continues to call out Jimmy Kimmel and it looks like the back-and-forth between the president and the late-night host refuses to cool down.
Trump’s latest rant isn’t just another throwaway post. It’s part of a bigger pattern where both men take turns firing shots, and the internet eats it up every single time.
Trump’s latest blow-up came after Jimmy joked that Trump would be “bracing for Hurricane Epstein” during Wednesday night’s monologue. That line clearly struck a nerve, because within hours Trump hopped on Truth Social with a whole essay screaming into the digital void. He accused ABC of being “fake news,” roasted Jimmy’s ratings, and ended the rant with, “Get the bum off the air!!!” If anyone thought Trump was mellowing out, this post proved otherwise.
The wild part? Trump’s timing is suspiciously aligned with Jimmy’s punchline. A few hours before the monologue, Trump announced he signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The bill blew through the House with a 427–1 vote and flew through the Senate before reaching his desk. That’s especially wild because Trump literally claimed Republicans would be “soft and foolish” for supporting the release just a few days ago. The man went from blocking the files to signing off on them like it was nothing.
Kimmel’s joke definitely hit where it hurt, because Trump’s online meltdown wasn’t just about comedy.
It was about narrative control. Jimmy’s monologues have become a recurring sore spot, and Trump reacts almost every single time. The two feel locked in a nonstop cycle of shade, jokes, and angry caps-locked clapbacks. And while the internet keeps laughing, Trump clearly is not.
Plus, ABC hasn’t forgotten their own drama with Jimmy. Just a few months back, they hit him with a temporary suspension after he caught backlash for saying Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer might be a MAGA supporter. That suspension lasted six days until the network reversed the decision, which definitely annoyed Trump even further. Now every joke Jimmy makes seems to set Trump off again, signaling that this beef is nowhere near over.
With Trump stepping back into election mode and Jimmy continuing to crack jokes every night, this feud is about to get even louder. Hollywood loves a messy rivalry, and this one is delivering.
What Sparked Trump’s Latest Outburst At Jimmy Kimmel?
Trump’s outburst didn’t happen out of nowhere. Jimmy Kimmel’s “Hurricane Epstein” line wasn’t a soft jab. It came with weight because the Epstein files conversation has been dominating headlines, and Trump’s name always ends up floating near the discourse whether he likes it or not. Knowing how sensitive Trump is about his public image, Jimmy’s punchline was guaranteed to trigger a reaction.
Jimmy suggested Trump would be “a major name in the Epstein files release,” which instantly sent social media into overdrive. And since Jimmy has never backed away from roasting Trump, it’s obvious he knew what he was doing. Late-night hosts chase reactions, and Trump consistently gives him the biggest one.
Trump’s Truth Social post dragged ABC for keeping Jimmy on air, calling the network “fake news,” and accusing the show of biased programming. He doubled down by clowning Jimmy’s ratings and declaring “Get the bum off the air!!!” Trump’s posts always end with a dramatic flair, but this one felt particularly heated.
