Trump Lashes Out At Jimmy Kimmel, Who Agrees On 1 Accidentally Accurate Point

Jimmy Kimmel returned to his show after a week off to find that he’s still on President Donald Trump’s mind. Trump, who has frequently complained about Kimmel and even demanded that he be taken off the air, griped about the host in a fundraising email. Or, as Kimmel called it, another “money grab” aimed at MAGA supporters. The header of the email was “DJT: GET TRUMP OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!” “Somehow not a line from the Trump-Epstein files,” Kimmel noted. Trump in the message attacked Kimmel as a “ratings-starved hack” and said his show has “total disaster numbers.” But the message also had something Kimmel could agree with. “He thinks he can sit in his Hollywood studio and laugh at the greatest political movement in the history of our country,” Trump wrote. “Yeah, he does,” Kimmel fired back, but then added a subtle correction: “Sometimes I stand, sometimes I sit and laugh.” The email ends with an appeal for cash. “Please give until his feelings don’t hurt anymore, folks,” Kimmel snarked back.
