Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s Ongoing Criticism of Trump Keeps Their Long-Running Feud in the Spotlight<\/h1>\n

Jimmy Kimmel has continued using his ABC late-night platform to criticize President Donald Trump, keeping a long-running public feud between the comedian and the president in the headlines.<\/p>\n

Kimmel has repeatedly used his monologues to comment on Trump’s policies, public statements and political actions. His remarks have drawn both support and criticism, while Trump and his allies have frequently responded to the comedian’s attacks.<\/p>\n

Kimmel Takes Aim at Trump\u2019s Presidency<\/h2>\n

In 2026, Kimmel has continued making Trump a regular subject of his late-night commentary.<\/p>\n

Following Trump’s February 2026 State of the Union address, Kimmel devoted part of his show to mocking the lengthy speech and discussing issues including immigration and the administration’s policies. ABC also published the episode in which Kimmel reacted to the address.<\/p>\n

More recently, Kimmel has continued criticizing Trump and his administration during his September monologues.<\/p>\n

His Comments on January 6<\/h2>\n

Kimmel also revisited the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol during its fifth anniversary in January 2026.<\/p>\n

He criticized what he described as attempts to reinterpret the events and urged viewers not to accept what he called \u201crevisionist history.\u201d His comments reflected his longstanding criticism of Trump’s role in the aftermath of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

A Feud That Has Continued for Years<\/h2>\n

The relationship between Kimmel and Trump has been contentious for much of the past decade.<\/p>\n

In April 2026, the dispute escalated after Kimmel made a joke about first lady Melania Trump during a segment connected to the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. Donald Trump and Melania Trump publicly criticized the comedian, with Trump calling for Kimmel to be fired. Kimmel rejected the characterization of his joke as a call for violence.<\/p>\n

The episode added another chapter to a much longer history of clashes between the late-night host and the president.<\/p>\n

ABC and the Broader Free-Speech Debate<\/h2>\n

The dispute has also become connected to wider arguments about political speech and broadcasting regulation.<\/p>\n

In September 2026, the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee advanced legislation aimed at restricting government officials from pressuring private companies over protected speech. The debate referenced controversies involving ABC and the FCC, including scrutiny surrounding Kimmel and other political programming.<\/p>\n

ABC has separately challenged actions by the FCC, while the FCC and White House have disputed allegations that the government improperly pressured the network.<\/p>\n

A Divisive Conversation<\/h2>\n

Kimmel’s comments about Trump have become part of the broader political divide surrounding the president. Supporters and critics of Trump interpret his presidency and use of executive power very differently, while late-night comedians such as Kimmel continue to use political satire as part of their programming.<\/p>\n

Rather than a single disagreement, the Kimmel-Trump conflict has developed over years and continues to generate headlines whenever the comedian turns his attention toward the White House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
