“IN EARLY 2018, the American national security apparatus was fixated on reports that North Korea was building nuclear weapons that could reach the U.S. or that Russia was plotting chemical weapons assassinations in Europe. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump was busy targeting his idea of an enemy of the state: late night host Jimmy Kimmel.
The then-president, according to two former Trump administration officials, was so upset by Kimmel’s comedic jabs that he directed his White House staff to call up one of Disney’s top executives in Washington, D.C., to complain and demand action. (ABC, on which Jimmy Kimmel Live! has long aired, is owned by Disney.)
In at least two separate phone calls that occurred around the time Trump was finishing his first year in office, the White House conveyed the severity of his fury with Kimmel to Disney, the ex-officials tell Rolling Stone. Trump’s staff mentioned that the leader of the free world wanted the billion-dollar company to rein in the Trump-trashing ABC host, and that Trump felt that Kimmel had, in the characterization of one former senior administration official, been “very dishonest and doing things that [Trump] would have once sued over.”

All of Orange Cult are Crybabies
For someone who likes to call people' names .His skin is very thin. It looks like breeze could blow through it 😃
Someone needs to make a meme of punky boy wearing a diaper. And crying about how people are being mean to him.
the orange clown wants to be a dictator. can we please get rid of this a hole?
So much for freedom of speech huh conservatives!
Once a tutti-frutti, always a tutti-frutti.
"Stupid Orange Mouth"

You guys are Never-A-Dull moment of this might stir your mood information. I like you all a lot.
Trumper tantrums galore
Didn't trump promise freedom of speech for all when he was president. Everyone except democrats. ANOTHER LIE!
Trump and the magas are a bunch of butthurt cry babys just ask mtg
Thought conservatives didn't care about feelings since they love wearing those fck your feelings t shirts.
If "THE MAN SHOW" couldn't get him cancelled… wtf would
I was wondering if Dumpy was soo concerned with Fox entertainment making fun of liberals on their network??? Was that a NO? I thought so!
Don't care for Trump's SCUM-CON CRY-BABY Orange behind, but Jimmy Kimmel has become a CRY-BABY JOKE himself along with the other two clowns on late-night TV, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert. When you have GUTFELD who is a Gas & Indigestion himself be the NUMBER #1 RATED late-night show, it's time for these three clowns to EXIT STAGE RIGHT. Oh, and I forgot SNL. It has o become a Liberal Propaganda Gas & Indigestion OLD JOKE itself.
SMH.

Donald Trump new name is Donald Thinskin Trump. He need some wine (whine) to go with his cheese and. The Republicons have the nerve to say that The Democrats are snowflakes. A accusation from a Republicon is a confession. The Republicons thinks that books and. Jokes are more Dangerous than bullets. Google said that the Rightwing is heading toward Authoritarian Rulership and. Authoritarian Rulers are bad on the Economy.
Kimmel has made his show political. He only smears and makes fun of Trump and Republicans, while ignoring Biden. With all of Biden's gaffes, there is a wealth of comedy material, but Kimmel won't dare make fun of Biden, because he is a hardcore Dem.
Jimmy Kimmel is my hero! Lol
If you still support the GOP, get a mental health check cause you are f#$%ed up!
In another egregious overreach of the Trump government, Trump publicly petitioned the NFL to fire any player who knelt during the National Anthem, calling to "Fire those sons of bitches!"
Such a cry baby!
Idiot trump is such a coward-b1tch I struggle to make sure today isn't April 1st. What a childish little B1TCH.
Remember, that @$$#0le said "better than Lincoln, better than Washington.."
No wonder the stupid b1tch trump setup a 800-phone line where his lemmings could leave messages for that coward.
Trump is the worst POTUS, possibly one of the most pathetic chickensh1t "americans" to have ever existed. Go back to sucking putin off, fairy trump!
How Pathetic life must be – believing that Scientists, Scholars, Historians, Economists and Journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, while a Treasonous Failed Reality TV star with DECADES of FRAUD, exhaustively documented lying and sexual harassment is your only beacon of truth and honesty.
What a snowflake
Meanwhile climate change dont care.
Dixie chick's happened to them!!
Ike no why Trump is singling out Jimmy Kimble. Every late night host makes fun of Trump. I know because I watch them all and love it.
