Kimmel's SHOCKING Trump Response: "I'll Go When YOU Go!"

It seems the feud between former President Donald Trump and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is far from over. Trump, known for his early-morning social media barrages, took aim at Kimmel yet again, this time via his Truth Social platform. The post, fired off at 12:49 a.m. ET, questioned why ABC "Fake News" continues to employ Kimmel, whom Trump described as a man with "NO TALENT" and "VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS." The post concluded with a demand to "Get the bum off the air!!!"

Kimmel's SHOCKING Trump Response: "I'll Go When YO...

Kimmel, never one to back down from a fight, responded in kind during the opening monologue of Thursday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live." He addressed the former president directly, thanking him for watching the show live (apparently staying up late to do so!). Kimmel noted the timing of Trump's post, just minutes after the East Coast broadcast ended, suggesting a dedicated viewership on Trump's part. He then delivered a pointed retort: "You tried to get me fired in September. It didn't work."

The late-night host also couldn't resist poking fun at Trump's recent approval ratings, a clear jab at the former president's ego. Honestly, you've got to admire Kimmel's ability to turn these attacks into comedic gold. It's become almost a daily routine, like checking the weather, except instead of rain, it's Trump's latest Twitter... er, Truth Social rant.

But the real kicker came when Kimmel addressed the possibility of his departure from ABC. Trump's post urged the network to remove him, but Kimmel had a clever response ready. "Mr. President – I admire your tenacity," he said, before implying that he'll only leave when Trump himself exits the political stage. The message was clear: this fight isn't ending anytime soon.

Now, Kimmel's contract with ABC is set to expire at the end of this season, and as of now, his future with the network is uncertain. Whether he'll renew or explore other options remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure: this ongoing spat with Trump isn't likely to influence his decision. Kimmel seems to thrive on the attention, and the ratings boost it provides probably doesn't hurt either. It's a classic case of two heavyweights trading blows, and the audience is the real winner – or at least, entertained by the spectacle.
