New Delhi: US President Donald Trump is finding it hard to believe that the TV Network ABC has given late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel his job back days after his show was suspended. President Trump threatened to "test ABC out on this".
Last week, on September 16, in his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live", the host made certain remarks on the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, mocked President Trump's way of "grieving" the loss of his friend and criticised FBI Director Kash Patel's handling of the investigation into the assassination.
However, the remarks didn't sit well with many. Following which, Nexstar -- one of the country's biggest owners of ABC affiliate stations -- said it would not broadcast "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for "the foreseeable future."
On Monday, Disney announced that the show would return to the air on Tuesday.
President Trump On Jimmy Kimmel's Return
"I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!" President Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Contemplating the reason behind the reunion of ABC with Kimmel, he added, "Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution."
President Trump said that the government will "test ABC out on this". While unclear on how it would happen, he shared the last time ABC had to shell out $16 million. "Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings."
