Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed ABC after the network reinstated Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show following a nearly weeklong suspension.
Trump, who had supported Kimmel’s suspension last week, expressed disbelief at the network’s decision, accusing Kimmel of poor performance and political bias.

“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“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,” he added.
“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. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings,” Trump wrote.
Kimmel had been suspended after comments he made in a monologue about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which drew criticism from Trump-appointed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and others.
ABC cited Kimmel’s remarks as “ill-timed and thus insensitive,” though it did not label them misleading.
