Former President Donald Trump has reignited his ongoing feud with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, criticizing a joke Kimmel made at the 2024 Oscars nearly seven months ago. Trump's renewed attack surfaced on his social media platform, Truth Social, where he posted a clip of Kimmel's joke and claimed that the comedian was suffering from "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME."
In his post, Trump wrote, "Remember this? What a dope!" He then accused Kimmel's wife and agent of pleading with the comedian not to share a Trump-related comment before the presentation for the Best Picture category. Trump's post implied that Kimmel's jokes were a desperate attempt to gain attention, criticizing him alongside other late-night hosts like Bill Maher and unnamed CBS and NBC figures.
