The feud between Donald Trump and Jimmy Kimmel has only intensified over time, turning what once were occasional jokes into a steady stream of public jabs. The tension escalated in September when Kimmel made comments about the late Charlie Kirk and criticized Trump’s reaction to the news. He accused the MAGA movement of politicizing the tragedy and mocked Trump for discussing White House renovations instead of offering condolences.
The remarks sparked backlash, leading to Kimmel’s show being briefly suspended. Trump celebrated the decision, calling it deserved. But after widespread criticism, the suspension was quickly reversed, and Kimmel returned to the air. Since then, he has continued using Trump as material, joking about Trump not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize he once claimed he deserved.
Kimmel also addressed Trump calling a female reporter “piggy,” noting how inappropriate such a comment would be in any workplace. He added that Trump “loses his mind” whenever Jeffrey Epstein’s name comes up, implying the insult was meant to divert attention.
Trump fired back on Truth Social, attacking Kimmel’s career and urging the network to remove him from the show. Kimmel didn’t respond directly but continued referencing Trump in later monologues, making it clear he isn’t backing down. For now, the feud remains public and ongoing, fueled by media attention and two personalities unwilling to let the other have the final word.
