4t Kimmel just said one line about Epstein that shook Trump – and his 3 a.m. Truth Social rant is becoming the new meme of the year
Donald Trump has once again erupted in rage over Jimmy Kimmel’s relentless late-night ribbing, this time demanding that Kimmel be taken off the air. The latest feud ignited after Kimmel’s monologue on November 19, 2025, where he mocked Trump regarding the impending release of the Jeffrey Epstein files—a political and legal storm the country is eagerly anticipating.
Kimmel opened his show with a biting quip: ““For more than a decade, the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, the vote in Congress went 427 to 1. It was such a landslide, Trump might actually be able to rebury the Epstein files under it. The Senate today sent the bill to the White House. Now, usually when Trump gets a bill, he declares bankruptcy and doesn’t pay it. But this one, he’s going to have to sign it… Trump hasn’t been this nervous about signing something since Don Jr.’s birth certificate!”” This sharp satire struck a nerve with Trump, who quickly retaliated on Truth Social, attacking Kimmel as a man with “NO TALENT and VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS” and bellowing, ““Get the bum off the air!!!””
This isn’t Trump’s first attempt to silence Kimmel; earlier in 2025, Trump’s efforts to get the late-night host off the air backfired spectacularly as public opinion rallied behind free speech and the right to satirize powerful public figures. But the president’s frustration seems to have only intensified as the release of long-withheld Epstein-related government files draws nearer, casting a shadow over his presidency.
Trump’s fury also targeted ABC News, which he labeled “Fake News,” accusing the network of biased coverage and questioning why they continue to broadcast Kimmel’s show. His outbursts came amidst legislative moves to make Epstein’s files public, a development that directly threatens Trump’s narrative concerning his associations and possible knowledge about Epstein’s illicit activities.
For the viewing public, this war of words between Kimmel and Trump is a dramatic display of clashing media and political titans, underscored by deep national divisions and the enduring intrigue surrounding Epstein’s legacy. Kimmel’s unwavering comedic attacks expose cracks in Trump’s armor, while Trump’s explosive responses reveal a leader unwilling to be mocked or questioned.
In the end, the spectacle feeds the public’s fascination with power, accountability, and the role of satire in modern political discourse. Whether Trump’s calls for censorship succeed or not, the battle between them is emblematic of the broader fight over truth, transparency, and freedom of expression.
