It’s no news that the former President of the United States Donald Trump, and Jimmy Kimmel have always been at each other’s neck, dissing each other at every opportunity they get. Most times the first diss comes from Jimmy Kimmel, then Trump would respond in his own way. Well, not this time. This time around, it was Trump who threw the first blow at Jimmy, and Jimmy couldn’t let it slide.

Jimmy Kimmel — Jimmy’s Response To Trump
Due to the upcoming midterm elections, Donald Trump has been making appearances at rallies so he can co-sign conservative candidates. In one of his rallies, the ex-president of the United States said that Jimmy Kimmel’s show is dead because most of its viewers were Trump supporters.
“I saw Jimmy Kimmel said that his show is practically dead because nobody that likes Trump will watch. And guess what? That turned out to be a majority of the people. The show is dead.”
In as much as Jimmy has been making comments like this to Trump, it appears that this comment from Trump stuck a nerve and Jimmy clapped back with his own hurtful words.
Jimmy told Trump, “Our show is so dead he’s gonna bury it next to his ex-wife at one of his golf courses. You know what’s dead? I’ll tell you what’s dead. All those endangered animals your chinless son shot. That’s what’s dead.” Continuing, Jimmy added, “You know what’s dead? The look in your wife’s eyes when you beg her for sex on your birthday.”

Jimmy Kimmel — Why Jimmy Almost Quit His Show “Jimmy Kimmel Live”
In the most recent episode of Sticher’s “Naked Lunch” podcast, Jimmy revealed that his constant jabs at Trump nearly cost him his show. The thing is that, due to how often Jimmy picks on Trump, ABC executives met with Jimmy and asked him to stop making those remarks about Trump.
Jimmy revealed that at the time ABC met him, he had lost a huge chunk of his fan base due to his constant remarks about Trump. According to Jimmy, he refused vehemently to take ABC up on their offer. He was willing to quit the show rather than let Trump be.
“I said, ‘Listen … if that’s what you want to do, I understand and I don’t begrudge you for it, but I’m not going to do that. If you want someone else to host the show, that’s fine … with me.”

Since Jimmy never liked Trump’s administration, he often wonders why people don’t speak up about it like he does. One time in 2019, Jimmy commended people like David Letterman, and the former host of “Daily Show” Jon Stewart on how they handle political issues.
Jimmy said, “You watch the news all day, you see what’s going on, how do you walk on stage and ignore it? It just doesn’t work anymore, I wish I could. It’s hard for me to talk about serious subjects. It takes a lot out of me. I do want to be funny. That’s fun.”
