Jimmy Kimmel destroys Trump in Critics’ Choice acceptance speech “We do not take free speech for granted”
The TV show host ripped into the President while at the same time thanking him for his success.
He wasn’t going to get off stage without having done it. Jimmy Kimmel climbed the few stairs at the front of the arena in Santa Monica and an outstretched hand collected the silver trophy from the host of the evening.
He had just won the Critics’ Choice Award for best talk show, the talk show that was banished from television last year before a sensational return to the screen thanks to a fan-led backlash that turned into a boycott which threatened ABC’s future as a broadcaster. The crime? Criticising the Dear Leader.
Now he was back, award in one hand, and - oops - a microphone in the other.

No prizes for guessing which orange, wispy-haired, bully he chose to speak about...
No, not Syndrome from The Incredibles. You remember him, he used to call himself Incredi-boy. The same way Trump names everything - Donroe Doctrine, “Trump-class” battleships, Trump Gold Cards - after himself.
“You sly dog! You got me monologuing!”
