US President Donald Trump has once again clashed with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, this time calling ABC 'Fake News' for keeping Kimmel on air. Trump questioned the network's decision to continue featuring Kimmel, labeling him 'a man with no talent' and citing low TV ratings. However, Kimmel responded with a series of jabs, including referencing Trump's low approval ratings and his own habit of watching Kimmel's show live on TV. Kimmel pointed out that Trump's post came just minutes after the end of his show's East Coast airing, adding, 'It's viewers like you who keep us on the air, ironically.' He also referenced the 'biggest sex scandal in the history of the American presidency,' a likely nod to the Epstein files, and jokingly suggested that Trump and he could 'ride off into the sunset together' like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The exchange is the latest in a long-standing feud between Trump and Kimmel, with Trump previously congratulating ABC on briefly suspending Kimmel in September over comments he made about right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk. Kimmel returned to air within a week, with other late-night hosts welcoming him back. The tension between the two has continued to escalate, with Kimmel also referencing Trump's recent outburst at a Bloomberg reporter and his failure to be invited to Dick Cheney's memorial, calling him an 'explosively unstable disaster' for America.
