Jimmy Kimmel Fires Back At Trump's Late-Night Insult With Creepy Reminder

Jimmy Kimmel turned Donald Trump’s latest insults right back at him.

The notoriously thin-skinned former president has long complained about late-night hosts that make fun of him and reportedly tried to sic the Justice Department on them when he was in the White House.

And earlier this week, he denounced the shows as they returned to TV after a five-month writers strike.

“Now that the ‘strike’ is over, the talentless, low-rated CREEPS of Late Night Television are back,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled - True LOSERS!!!”

Kimmel fired back with a reminder of the former president’s current problems.

“I love that with everything he’s got going on ― running for president, 91 felony charges, a $250 million fraud trial ― he still finds time to watch his favorite late-night shows and tantrum about them,” Kimmel said.

Also Stephen Colbert ... my personal favorite.

I'm happy that they supported the writers' strike, and I'm happy that it's over now.

He knows he has no talent, no friends, and no respect.

of that show at some friends’ house and just sat in disbelief that people were watching that asshole. Afterward I said to myself “I never need to see him again!”

…And look where we are now!

I suspect that suggests they wish they were in a position to do the same to their underlings. I doubt any of them understood the intelligence, respect, and dignity of Martin Sheen as the president in "The West Wing."
