Trump vs. Jimmy Kimmel free-speech clash fuels petitions and coverage
President Donald Trump on Thursday demanded that ABC fire late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after Kimmel mocked Trump’s age and health. Kimmel's joke ridiculed the idea of Trump as a strongman and highlighted the president's vulnerability. Petitions titled "Stop Trump's Censorship Campaign" and "Keep Jimmy Kimmel on-air and NO caving to authoritarian censorship" urged ABC and Disney to resist government pressure. The clash matters because a network firing would set a precedent that could chill political satire and expand presidential influence over broadcasters.
I’m still laughing about Jimmy Kimmel last night on Donald Trump trying to get him fired: “Why am I getting the same threats as Iran? Do I look like the Ayatollah?” 🤣

tRump is blaming nemesis Jimmy Kimmel for the WHCD ‘assassination attempt’. He is again demanding that ABC take action against him, calling Kimmel a ‘lowlife’ because he makes jokes at his expense. tRump, the epitome of a ‘snowflake’. #ProudBlue #JimmyKimmel #Snowflake people.com/donald-trump...
@[email protected]9In a few weeks, when Colbert is forced by the Republican's to leave his job, I will associate @CBS as I do fox entertainment. AND....if ABC boots Kimmel, I don't need them or their sponsors either. Big Brother can just 86
Good Trouble 🇺🇸6I know who the real low life is regardless of how much gold he surrounds himself with.
Sherry6Kimmel tells a joke, and all hell breaks loose with him. But him saying he is going to murder 93 million people, move along, nothing to see here. No one mentions it.
Sherry4Such a big baby. So tough, right? Scared of a joke. Control.
Guardrails of Democracy4Well 7rump… stop doing stupid 💩
mrslmb-1257.bsky.social3AGAIN! Who wants to tell the dumbass WORTHLESS POS and PEDO-potus it’s called our 1st Amendment to our Bill of Rights to our US Constitution!
Miss Molly3In her pre-WHCD interview Caroline Leavitt said there will be shots fired. We know better than to take those words at face value. We know she was talking about jokes being made at the expense of others. Just like we know Kimmel was talking about trumps age, because trump joked about it days before.
Nanip3Only dictators get to decide who’s on TV.
h1buck.bsky.social2Trump is the biggest low life the world has ever seen !! Even Putin second to him !!!!
ReverendTimeTraveler2He's such a big strong man that words can hurt him.
OKNova2Trump's being a harmful, unlawful asshole and creep is what is causing the assassination attempts. Nothing more. WTF did he expect? Has nobody but himself to blame for past and future attempts.
Multinominousc ≥🇺🇸│🇨🇭🏴🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️│🇺🇦🇵🇸🇺🇳2Bow howdy, it really is both a blessing and a curse to be so full of shit (in his case figuratively and literally) and such a megalomaniac that you lack the ability to hear the hypocritical bullshit coming out of your own mouth.
mjmd2**** ha ha ha ha **** *wah wah! the epitome of snowflakes is whining about a joke*
