Donald Trump Goes on Rant Over Jimmy Kimmel in Recent Social Media Post
Donald Trump has reignited his feud with jimmy kimmel over the late-night host’s dig at him during the 2024 oscars ceremony nearly seven months ago.
The former president posted a clip of the Academy Awards jibe on his Truth Social account and claimed Kimmel suffered from “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
“Remember this?” wrote Trump. “What a dope!”
The GOP presidential hopeful claimed Kimmel’s wife and agent had “begged” the Oscar host not to read out a Trump post panning his performance just before the presentation for Best Picture.
“All of this on top of really bad ratings for Jimmy, just like failing Bill Maher and the two clowns on CBS and NBC!” he wrote, adding: “NO TALENT EQUALS BAD RATINGS!!!”
He doesn’t offer any clues as to why he waited so long to bring up Kimmel’s Oscars roast again. However, it may have something to do with Democratic Party vice presidential nominee on ABC’s jimmy kimmel live on Monday night.
Trump may also have been irritated by the fiurry jokes about him on Friday’s late-night shows after he denied claims by a special counsel of election interference in 2020.
“He’s actually right about some of that,” said Kimmel on his show. “He didn’t rig the election. He tried to rig the election and failed to rig the election. He’s a rignoramus, is what he is.”
“What a baby,” responded Stephen Colbert. “That’s just as bad as Jeffrey Dahmer’s famous defense, ‘No, you ate my neighbor!’”
Seth Meyers said: “A federal judge yesterday unsealed a 165-page motion detailing evidence against former President Trump in his election interference case. OK, well, there’s only one way he’s reading 165 pages, and it’s at the Cheesecake Factory.”
The Oscars clip posted by Trump included Kimmel reading out the “review” of his performance to a star-studded audience, showing Academy Award winner Jodie Foster laughing.
But Trump cut Kimmel’s punchline zinger from the clip. The comedian actually ended the bit with the line: “Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching I’m surprised you’re still… isn’t it past your jail time?”
It is not the first time the former president has posted about the Oscars dig. In April, Trump called Kimmel “stupid” for reading out his post during the ceremony.
In his interview with late-night host jimmy kimmelon Monday, Tim Walz talked about one of the most notorious moments from the recent vice presidential debate: when
JD Vance refused to directly answer Walz’s question about whether Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Vance’s response has been featured in Harris campaign ads in the week since.
“That should have been the lede, don’t you think?” Walz said, when Kimmel asked him about it. “Eighty-five minutes before.”
“It’s crazy,” Kimmel agreed, then referenced how Capitol rioters were on Jan. 6. “Although you have to remember, also, the last vice president who said he thought Trump lost the election wound up being chased out of the Capitol building.”
“A self-preservation mode,” Walz joked. He said Vance’s non-answer was “very surreal to sit there and listen to,” although he described himself as “an eternal optimist” who hoped the country could move on from election deniers running for office.
“This idea that we could have different ideas, but we have unity, love for democracy, have an election, and then shake hands, and admit that the person who won won,” Walz said. “I think some of those things, we all grew up with pretty commonly.”
Walz also criticized Vance’s debate answer on gun control, where the Trump vice presidential pick described school shootings as and offered solutions that revolved around improving school security.
“Like the vice president, I simply refuse to accept [it],” Walz said. “Donald Trump tells us to get over it, JD Vance says, you know, ‘This is just a fact of life’ or whatever. You can pass commonsense things, not infringe on the Second Amendment, but our first responsibility is those kids.”
Walz also criticized Republicans for dismissing school shootings . “[They] pivot to Iit’s a mental health issue,’ trying to demonize people who are trying to get mental health care—Oh, at the same time, they’re cutting the funding for mental health care.”
“We don’t have to live this way,” Walz concluded. “I brought up in [the debate], and [Vance] batted it down: Countries that have just as much gun ownership as us but commonsense things in place, their children don’t get shot in school.”
