Trump took to his Truth Social platform and posted that Kimmel has “no talent” and has “very poor television ratings.”
Kimmel went on the offensive, pointing out Trump posted just minutes after the show aired.
“He watches us live,” Kimmel said. “Hi, Mr. President. Thanks for watching us on TV instead of YouTube. We appreciate that. It’s viewers like you that keep us on the air, ironically.
