In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel found himself once again on the receiving end of Donald Trump‘s ire. The former President made his second appearance on the Fullsend podcast, where the conversation quickly turned towards talk show hosts. Trump was asked to rate various hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel, and didn’t hold back when expressing his opinions.
When asked about Kimmel, Trump said, “He’s not first of all. They all have bad ratings. The one that’s the most successful is Greg, who? Greg! Greg Gutfeld. Well, Jimmy Kimmel‘s a loser. Look, we would do Jimmy. I do Jimmy Kimmel. I did him a lot, maybe confusing me with Stormy Daniels, I don’t know,” Trump quipped.
Kimmel, in response, took the opportunity to set the record straight, saying, “Three times. We’ve been on almost 22 years. You were on three times, not a lot. Mike ‘The Situation’ from Jersey Shore was on the show more times than you, but go on.” Kimmel went on to debunk Trump’s claims about meeting on the sidewalk outside the studio, stating, “Never did I ever stand on the sidewalk to greet Donald Trump or any guests. Never happened.”
This exchange is just the latest in a long-standing feud between Trump and Kimmel, with the talk show host regularly poking fun at the former President on his late-night show. However, it seems that Trump’s return to the podcast only served to reignite the animosity between the two.
But that wasn’t the only noteworthy moment from the talk show. Trump recently held a town hall in Pennsylvania, moderated by Christy Gnome. However, the event didn’t go as planned. Trump seemed to forget the correct date for the election, stating, “I’ll tell you if everything works out if everybody gets out and votes on January 5th or before,” when in reality, the election is scheduled for November 5th.
The town hall took an even stranger turn when there were multiple medical emergencies in the room, leading to interruptions and delays during the event. After only taking five questions, Trump abandoned the town hall format and began asking his tech team to play songs off his iPad. For almost 40 minutes, he stood on stage dancing and swaying, seemingly oblivious to the confusion and disruption.
Kimmel couldn’t help but poke fun at the bizarre scene, noting, “He just stood there swaying like a manatee tangled in seaweed.” The talk show host also highlighted the stark contrast in media coverage, saying, “I want you to imagine a world in which Kamala Harris stood there at a rally and said nothing, just danced around for almost 40 minutes. Fox News would have blocked out a full week to cover it.”
The episode took another strange turn when Trump attacked Kamala Harris‘ medical records in a late-night tweet, claiming she suffers from “ticaria,” “allergic ritis,” and “allergic conjunctivitis,” all of which are common conditions known as hives and hay fever. Kimmel couldn’t resist pointing out the hypocrisy, stating, “These are deeply serious conditions that clearly impact her functioning. No, those are hives and hay fever. You can’t be president with hay fever. What if the Russians bombard the White House with hay?”
Amidst these bizarre incidents, one thing is clear: the feud between Donald Trump and Jimmy Kimmel is far from over. And with the election just weeks away, it seems unlikely that tensions will cool down anytime soon.
Whether you love him or hate him, Trump’s appearances on talk shows and his unorthodox events always manage to draw attention and create controversy. Love him or hate him, one thing is for certain, Donald Trump knows how to keep people talking.
