Trump learns that Kimmel is back—and it’s hilarious
President Donald Trump has just learned that his attempted silence Jimmy Kimmel failed, and the result is hilarious.
The late evening host is back on the antenna, and Trump has not lost time make a crisis of anger On social truth:
I cannot believe that the false news ABC gave Jimmy Kimmel his work to Jimmy Kimmy. The White House was informed by ABC that its program had been canceled! Something has happened between then and now because his audience has gone, and his “talent” has never been there. Why would they want someone to come back so badly, who is not funny, and who endangers the network by playing 99% of positive democratic waste. He is still another DNC arm and, to my knowledge, it would be a major illegal campaign contribution. I think we are going to test ABC on this subject. Let’s see how we do. The last time I pursued them, they gave me $ 16 million. This one seems even more lucrative. A real group of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad grades.
As we already know, Trump’s collapse proves once again that the Republicans do not care about freedom of expression. His beef with Kimmel is not complicated. He does not like being the target of jokes, so he wants ABC punished. It is not an intelligent legal theory – it is the bare abolition of the naked government. And the party that never closes on communism? They are perfectly happy to let Trump play Tinpot Dictator, dictating what American companies can and cannot do as if Pyongyang.
The botter is that Trump actually undermines. By discouraging that all his reproach concerns the content of Kimmel – on the jokes – he admits that there is no real case. The courts do not tend to look in goodness the presidents who have anger attacks because an actor injured their feelings. The first amendment is still one thing.
Even Trump’s lies become sloppy. A few days ago, the White House insisted They had nothing to do with Kimmel’s suspension, that everything was the decision of the leaders of ABC. But now Trump says that “the White House has been told” of the cancellation of the show. If they had nothing to do with it, why would ABC signal something in the White House? Contradictions are not even important to him. What matters is the intimidation of companies in accordance. And over and over again, the institutions that think that appeasement will do so from their back will teach the harsh that it is attached to the hard.
The irony, of course, is that if Kimmel had really bad grades, the best punishment for ABC would be to let these notes flow. Instead, Trump guaranteed Kimmel a larger platform than ever. Nothing makes an actor at the end of the evening more relevant than a presidential whistle. Well, Kimmel would have been even more powerful as a podcaster anyway. The left still needs its counterweight Joe Rogan.

For the moment, however, Trump has made sure that Kimmel’s return was a new national. Again, his obsession with punishing criticism turned against him, and the person he wanted to silence is laughing more than ever.
And us too.
