Donald Trump threatens to sue ABC over Jimmy Kimmel’s return in scathing message

The US president made it clear he was frustrated with Jimmy Kimmel’s return

Jimmy Kimmel returned to people’s screens following his suspension and Donald Trump made it clear that he was not happy about this.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! was ‘pre-empted indefinitely’ following he comments of the host about the as:sa:ssin:ation of Charlie Kirk and the response from conservatives, including Donald Trump.

Responses to Kimmel’s return, after a suspension for less than a week, proved to divide some people.

Some people who were happy that the show was initially pulled by Disney were left frustrated while people who were against the move argued Kimmel returning was a great victory for free speech.

Trump, who rejoiced at Kimmel’s show being taken off the air, took to Truth Social on September 23 to vent about the comedian’s return.

Trump wrote: “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! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there.

“I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

This was seemingly in reference to the settlement he reached with ABC last year in a defamation lawsuit Trump filed against the network.

During Kimmel’s opening monologue, he didn’t hold back in ridiculing Trump and recommended the president had a role in having his show briefly being suspended.

He said: “The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.

“One thing I did learn from Lenny Bruce and George Carlin and Howard Stern, is that a government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn’t like is anti-American.”

Kimmel continued to joke: “You almost have to feel sorry for him, he tried his best to cancel me and instead he forced millions of people to watch the show.”

On social media, people have also been weighing in on Trump’s threats, with some mocking the president for his reaction.

One Twitter user commented: “Trump threatening to sue over late-night jokes proves he still craves the spotlight he claims to hate.”

Another said: “Trump suing comedians now? Nothing screams ‘strong leader’ like being triggered by late-night jokes.”

A third added: “A lot of people were like ‘Jimmy Kimmel being back on PROVES there was no government coercion against free speech’ and then Trump just posted he’s going to sue ABC for putting Jimmy Kimmel back on.”

Meanwhile, someone else added: “After trump’s performance at the UN today, I think he’s officially finished on the world stage. Jimmy Kimmel is the least of his worries.”

Why Barron Trump Can’t Join Military As Furious Americans Demand He’s Drafted

Thousands of angry Americans are calling for Barron Trump to serve in the U.S. military. However, the 19-year-old reportedly qualifies for a medical exemption that would prevent him from being drafted.

Around the world, people are watching with concern as international tensions rise to levels not seen for decades.

Over the weekend, on February 28, the United States and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes inside Iran, reportedly targeting the country’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

Former President Donald Trump later stated on Truth Social that the operation had been successful, claiming Khamenei had been k*lled. Following the announcement, Iran declared forty days of mourning and announced a seven-day national holiday.

Why the strikes happened

For years, both the U.S. and Israel have argued that Iran’s nuclear program and missile development pose a major security threat—particularly to Israel, U.S. military forces in the region, and Western allies.

Officials have long wa:rned that if Iran develops advanced nuclear weapons or long-range missiles, the balance of power in the region could shift dangerously.

At the same time, critics point out that the situation is complex. While many Western governments accuse Iran’s leadership of authoritarian rule and hostility toward Western policies, many Iranians themselves have pushed for reforms and greater freedoms.

Human rights organizations and the United Nations have repeatedly criticized Iran’s government for suppressing protests, restricting free speech, carrying out arbitrary arrests, and punishing political opponents.

Israel has argued that weakening Iran’s leadership could reduce its influence across the Middle East. However, critics say the strikes could also risk triggering a broader regional conflict.

Fears of a wider wa:r

Concerns about the possibility of a third world wa:r have risen significantly.

A YouGov survey found that between 41% and 55% of Western Europeans believe another global war could occur within the next decade. About 45% of Americans share that fear. Meanwhile, 68% to 76% of respondents believe any future world war would likely involve nuclear weapons.

If a military draft were introduced in the United States, certain groups would receive exemptions or deferments.

Women are currently not required to register with the Selective Service System, although they serve in nearly all military roles.

People with serious medical conditions, disabilities, chronic illnesses, or significant mental health issues are also likely to be exempt.

Full-time college students have historically received temporary deferments, especially if they are close to completing their studies.

In the U.S., all male citizens and male immigrants between the ages of 18 and 25 must register with the Selective Service System within 30 days of turning 18.

If a draft were implemented, those turning 20 during the lottery year would be called first. If more soldiers were needed, the system would expand to include ages 21 through 25. Only after those groups were exhausted would 19-year-olds be called, followed by 18-year-olds.

Why Barron may be exempt

According to reports, Barron Trump may not qualify for many military roles due to his height.

He reportedly stands around 6 feet 9 inches tall.

Many military positions—especially those involving tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft—require soldiers to operate in tight spaces.

For some roles, the U.S. Army sets a maximum height requirement of about 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches), meaning Barron could be considered too tall for certain positions.
