Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is back in the headlines, and this time, he’s thanking President Donald Trump—sort of. During a recent monologue on his show, Kimmel joked that Trump helped make him the third most searched person on Google in 2025. He went on to mock the President, as he’s known to do, but let’s be honest—if you’re trending because the most powerful man in the world is calling you out, that’s not exactly a win for you.
Kimmel, who has made a second career out of taking cheap shots at conservatives, claimed he owed his newfound online fame to Trump’s repeated attacks. According to Google’s year-end list, Kimmel ranked just behind rapper Kendrick Lamar and singer “d4vd,” who’s currently suspected in a murder. Let that sink in—Kimmel cracked the world’s top three only because Trump mentioned him. That’s not comedy, that’s irony.
Now, let’s get something straight. President Trump calling out Kimmel isn’t about hurt feelings or thin skin—it’s about a media figure who regularly spreads misinformation and hate about half the country. Kimmel has used his platform to mock Trump supporters, insult conservative leaders, and push a far-left agenda. He’s not just telling jokes. He’s pushing a narrative, and when the President responds, suddenly that’s news? Give me a break.
Kimmel even joked about Trump watching his show live, saying, “It’s viewers like you who keep us on the air, ironically.” That’s more smugness from a guy who’s forgotten what it means to entertain Americans instead of lecturing them. He’s not getting laughs—he’s getting clicks. And he’s riding Trump’s name to stay relevant.
Let’s not forget how Kimmel got into deeper water earlier this year. After the tragic murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Kimmel implied that the suspect, Tyler Robinson, might have been a Trump supporter. That was flat-out wrong. Authorities described Robinson as a liberal, and the backlash was swift. Even ABC and Disney, two of the most liberal corporations around, had to suspend Kimmel’s show for a few days. That’s not censorship—that’s accountability.
The suspension drew complaints from the left, claiming FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had pressured ABC. But here’s the truth: when someone on TV falsely links a brutal killing to a political figure or movement, there should be consequences. Veterans like me have seen firsthand what misinformation can do, especially when it spreads through powerful media outlets. Kimmel crossed a line, and he got burned.
This isn’t about late-night comedy anymore. This is about a media elite who think they can say whatever they want without facing the music. Kimmel has turned his show into a political weapon, and when it backfires, he plays the victim or makes it into a joke. But for those of us who served, and for hard-working Americans who love this country, it’s not funny.
President Trump has every right to call out media bias and hold these figures accountable. When Kimmel mocks our leaders, misrepresents the facts, and spreads lies about conservatives, it’s not “free speech”—it’s propaganda. And it’s about time the rest of the country sees through the act.
So yes, Jimmy, you’re trending. But it’s not because you’re talented. It’s because you poked the bear and got exactly the reaction you wanted—for clicks, for attention, and to keep your ratings from sinking. America deserves better than that.
We deserve entertainers who respect the flag, who support our troops, and who don’t mock half the country to get a laugh. Until then, guys like Kimmel will keep joking, and patriots will keep standing strong—because the truth still matters.
