Donald Trump doesn’t hold back: U.S. president reveals what he really thinks about Jimmy Kimmel in five words

There is no love lost between Donald Trump and Jimmy Kimmel, a fact made crystal clear this week as the U.S. president fired back at comments made by the late-night host on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate voted to release the Epstein files, with Trump officially signing a bill calling for the Justice Department to do so the following day. The president had previously pledged not to release them before being forced into a U-turn.

Kimmel mocks Trump’s “quiet, piggy” moment

In the meantime, Kimmel weighed in on Trump’s predicament, including his viral “quiet, piggy” outburst at a reporter aboard Air Force One.

“Trump is not a happy little meal right now,” Kimmel quipped. “Every time he gets asked about Jeffrey Epstein, he loses his mind.”

“He said ‘Quiet, piggy’ to a reporter and it barely made the news… If a man spoke like that to a female coworker in a workplace harassment video, you’d go, ‘Ah, that’s over the top. Nobody would do that.’ If the pilot on Air Force One behaved like the president, he wouldn’t be allowed to fly the plane.”

Trump’s view of Jimmy Kimmel

It did not take long for Trump to respond on Truth Social. As usual, he made it clear he was not impressed with Kimmel’s work.

“Why does ABC Fake News keep Jimmy Kimmel, a man with NO TALENT and VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS, on the air?” Trump posted. “Why do the TV Syndicates put up with it? Also, totally biased coverage. Get the bum off the air!!!”

Kimmel’s ABC suspension over Chris Kirk comments

The latest feud comes months after Disney-owned ABC suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for a week in September. The move followed Kimmel’s remarks about the shocking death of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk. The suspension sparked backlash, with critics accusing Disney and ABC of bowing to political pressure from the Trump administration, which Kimmel has relentlessly mocked, and suppressing free speech.
