Stephen Colbert’s Audience Flocks to Jimmy Kimmel, While CBS Suffers a Massive Ratings Decline

The first full week of ratings for network late night television since “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” went dark have been released. And it doesn’t paint a pretty picture for the Donald Trump bootlickers at Paramount/CBS who canceled their number one program starring America’s favorite late night host.

The loss of Colbert’s wit, insight, and compassion, is already being felt by millions of his fans. His final show on May 22 was his most-watched weeknight episode of all time. He raised millions of dollars for charity by auctioning off parts of his set and other memorabilia from the show. And he stirred the wrath of Donald Trump who had a severe flare up of his OCD (Obsessive Colbert Disorder).

Now audiences are beginning to settle into a new late night routine. And with Colbert moving on to what will likely be an even bigger, better platform for his humor and punditry, there was some interest as to where his network viewers would end up. Now we know. As reported by Latenighter

“According to Nielsen Live+3 ratings data for the week of May 24, 2026, Jimmy Kimmel Live! averaged 2.43 million total viewers (+35 percent over the week prior) and 252,000 adults 18–49 (+31 percent) across three original episodes and two repeats. The Tonight Show, meanwhile, averaged 1.41 million total viewers (+6 percent) and 271,000 adults 18–49 (+3 percent).” […]

“On CBS, Comics Unleashed completed its first full week in Stephen Colbert’s former Late Show time period. […] Combined, the show’s one-hour block averaged 737,000 total viewers (down -72%) and 78,000 adults 18–49 (down -66%).”

This was not entirely surprising. Most knowledgeable TV analysts assumed that Kimmel would get the lion’s share of Colbert’s viewers. His program and brand of humor is closer to Colbert’s, than Jimmy Fallon, who strives for a more congenial image that is averse to offending anyone.

So Kimmel is the big winner in this battle. And the big loser? That would be Trump. He despises Kimmel nearly as much as he did Colbert. Trump has repeatedly called for Kimmel to be fired. Instead, Kimmel is becoming bigger and more popular than ever. He recently won a coveted Peabody Award and used his acceptance speech to skewer Trump.

Despite Trump’s pathetic efforts to hamper Kimmel’s rise, there is really nothing that he can do about it. But that won’t stop him from whining and lashing out in a futile attempt to bring Kimmel down. It won’t work. It will just make Trump look weaker and more pitiful. If that’s even still possible at this point.

Jimmy Kimmel Wins Peabody Award, Skewers Trump in His Acceptance Speech

Watch out for flying ketchup bottles! The Crybaby-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is going to be lobbing caseloads of condiments with both hands when he hears that the “low rated, no talent,” late night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, has just won a coveted Peabody Award for “embracing the responsibility of comedy to reveal truths amid political volatility.”

Never mind the skyrocketing costs of gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, etc., or the reckless and illegal war in Iran. Trump is too busy with his vanity ballroom, and getting his scowling mug plastered on currency, to be concerned with issues that really matter to the American people. And he’s too obsessed with punishing the media for telling the truth about him, including by comedians that America loves way more than him.

SEE THIS: LOLOL: Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump in Poll Despite Having No Talent or Ratings (According to Trump)

On Sunday night the prestigious Peabody Awards were presented to journalists and others in the media for outstanding achievements in their fields. Among them was Jimmy Kimmel, who has distinguished himself as both a humorist and a profound observer of political, cultural, and social affairs. As reported by Variety

“‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ was among the 34 winners chosen by the Peabody Awards jury to win this year’s prizes, and Kimmel joked that he ‘never felt dumber’ being awarded along side documentaries and news programs that ‘exposed the horrors of ice, prison abuse and a teacher who took on Putin.’

“But the audience at Sunday night’s ceremony cheered on as the talk show host, in his acceptance speech, reminded the crowd that ‘making jokes about the President – in America – shouldn’t win you a prize. We have the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to criticize and satirize our leaders. That is a right I took for granted, for the first 57 years of my life, until last September, when the FCC delivered an unpleasant surprise.'”

As a perennial target of Trump’s wrath, Kimmel has been subjected to infantile insults, as well as vindictive threats and abusive retribution by Trump and his flunkies at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They succeeded in getting Kimmel thrown off the air, but only for three days as the public backlash forced the Trumpists to cave in and restore the program. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped Trump from pursuing his ego-fueled vendetta.

In his Peabody acceptance speech (video below), Kimmel affirmed that he and his peers “will not stand by when comedy, and journalism, and dissent are censored, regulated and criminalized.” Then he went on to thank the Peabody panel that voted for him, as well as another notable who helped him to earn this honor…

“Thank you to the Peabody jurors for this adorable little trophy, and thank you to Donald Trump, our commander-in-thief, ‘Abrascam Lincoln,’ ‘Orange Julius Caesar,’ ‘Greedy McGolfy,’ ‘Dopey McGropey’ and ‘Pumpkin McPornhumper.'”

Trump may have succeeded in getting his billionaire pals at Paramount/CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert. Although they may have only succeeded in guiding him to an even bigger audience online and streaming. But Kimmel, for the time being, is still with us. And he will likely inherit Colbert’s network TV audience, giving him more exposure than ever.


UPDATE: The first head-to-head late night ratings since Colbert went dark show that Kimmel got the lion’s share of Colbert’s audience. CBS however, tanked with airings of “Comics Unleashed,” the show that replaced Colbert.

“According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Kimmel dominated the hour with an average 2.185 million total viewers [a 53% gain] and 295,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic [a 178% gain]. That’s more viewers for Jimmy Kimmel Live! across both key ratings measurements than both the Tonight Show and Comics Unleashed combined. […] CBS, meanwhile, saw a steep drop-off from its year-ago performance. Comics Unleashed was down 64% in total viewers and down 46% among adults 18-49 compared to The Late Show’s numbers the same night last year, when Colbert won the timeslot.”


As for Trump, his approval ratings have been in a death spiral for months. And nothing hurts him more than knowing how despised he is by the little people he aspires to rule.

Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. Then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing

Trump Bids Farewell to Stephen Colbert With His Trademark Nastiness, Lies, and Bitter Jealousy

The “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” has officially entered the realm of history with his spectacular finale on Thursday night. His legacy of brilliance, warmth, insight, and humor will be remembered by chroniclers of both entertainment and politics for many decades to come.

Stephen Colbert & Trump Baby

Not that Colbert has retired from the worlds of either politics or comedy. The Emmy, Grammy, and Peabody Award winning humorist is expected to resume his career after a much deserved vacation and a diversion to a personal passion, writing the screenplay for the next cinematic installment of “Lord of the Rings.” His future looks extraordinarily bright, even as accolades are already starting to pour in…

SEE THIS: Stephen Colbert Honored with Robert F. Kennedy ‘Ripple of Hope’ Award for Social Justice Efforts

The acclaim, however, is not universal. Colbert has managed to stir the ire of a notoriously humorless critic, Donald Trump, who stayed up late to bash Colbert after the last episode of his show was in the can. As Bruce Springsteen said earlier in the week, Colbert is “the first guy in America who lost his show because we’ve got a president who can’t take a joke, [and that Paramount/CBS honchos] Larry and David Ellison feel the need to kiss his ass to get what they want.”

Trump was also up early the next morning to repeat his nastiness for his cult disciples that follow him on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Trump whined that…

“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”

And he whimpered that…

“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts. Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Donald Trump is SOOOO jealous of the fact that Stephen Colbert is universally beloved and destined for greatness in his post-CBS career.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-05-22T18:52:38.909Z

WOW! What an insightful, informative, and mature message to America. Never mind that it’s all bullshit. Trump is in no position to assess Colbert’s talent. And he is either lying or incredibly stupid (or both) if he thinks that Colbert’s number one rated late night program had no ratings. Trump is also pitifully predicting that Colbert is now “gone,” and that his late night peers will be gone soon as well. Not likely on either count.

UPDATE: No ratings? Variety reports that “‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Finale Attracts 6.74 Million Viewers, Its Most-Watched Weeknight Episode Of All Time.”

Trump also has a penchant for framing his insults in extremely dark terms, describing Colbert as “like a dead person.” That’s wishful thinking on Trump’s part. And, yes, he has made similarly morbid comments in the past…

FOR EXAMPLE: Did Trump Just Post a Death Threat to Stephen Colbert After Watching His Kennedy Center Flop?

Trump’s Colbert Derangement Syndrome is more evidence of how uncaring he is about American jobs. Colbert employs about 200 people whose jobs will be over along with the show. But what probably hurt Trump most of all is that in the extended 80 minute broadcast Trump’s name wasn’t mentioned one time. Considering Trump’s massive yet fragile ego, that deliberate neglect is likely still gnawing at him.

Add to that Trump’s raging jealousy that he is only able to attract washed up “celebrities” like Kid Rock, while Colbert was able assemble a huge cast of notables paying tribute to him, including the legendary Paul McCartney…

Crybaby Trump Whines that Fox News Hosted Bill Maher, Who Trump Has Hosted at the White House

Determined to preserve his crown as the “Most Fabulous Whiner” (his own words) to have ever occupied the White House, Donald Trump just lashed out at his own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for having the audacity to interview alleged comedian Bill Maher.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Wah

The comment posted to his desperately failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, was a tediously long tirade that traversed a vast array of unrelated subjects. Trump likes to frame these incoherent rants positively as what he calls “weaving.” Which is also what they call what drunk drivers do on the highway. But Trump’s inability to focus is more representative of serious mental impairment. Which partially explains why the American people are so sick and tired of his demented antics.

SEE THIS: FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation

The comment that Trump posted Saturday night (see below) was a typical display of the seething rage that is eating him up. It’s impossible to make any sense out of most of it, but there are a few passages that should be recognized as warnings of the psychological collapse that is already in progress. He began by saying that…

“I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher ‘relevant’ as it pertains to the Republican Party, and beyond. Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him at the White House.”

That’s right. Trump is outraged that Fox News would dare to invite Maher onto their network, even though it was okay for Trump to invite him to the White House. Trump also claims to have gotten to know Maher “very well” over a single dinner. And Trump found that Maher is “a weak and ineffective person,” and therefore requires elaborate, lengthy, and irrational rebuttals.

Never mind that Maher actually praised Trump following their dinner. He claimed to like Trump and described him as “gracious.” But any show of respect or submission to Trump is quickly forgotten if it isn’t constantly repeated and without any hint of criticism.

True to form, Trump is now lambasting Maher in terms that fail to be comprehensible. For instance, Trump said that Maher’s request for a drink upon entering the White House was both “very endearing” and “absolutely pathetic.” But then Trump switched gears to complain about Maher’s interview of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump is viscerally afraid of Newsom and frequently maligns him in the childish manner that only Trump can muster. He said that…

“I happened to watch Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person, who said he can’t read a speech, is dumb, and essentially, incompetent. […] Gavin went on and on about how good California is doing, while it’s doing very poorly, having, by far, the worst year it’s ever had.”

Of course, none of Trump’s complaints ever approached reality. Trump’s despicable and false reference to Newsom’s “admittedly Low IQ” was actually spun from Newsom’s honest and relatable revelations about his his youthful issues with dyslexia, not IQ. As for California, it is the most profitable state in the nation. It contributed about 14.5% of the total U.S. GDP in 2025. In fact, during Newsom’s governorship it has become the fourth biggest economy in the world, following the United States, China, and Germany.

Nevertheless, Trump paraded his usual litany of lies, accusing Newsom of failing with regard to homelessness, transportation, and wildfires in Los Angeles, that Trump has said he would have extinguished by turning on a giant imaginary faucet in Northern California. He really believes that water flows “downhill” from north to south.

Trump closed by blasting Fox as “weak, stupid, and ineffective” for interviewing Maher, who he also said is “slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel.” That’s actually a cheap, backhanded slap at Kimmel, who Trump is obsessed with, and is determined to banish from the airwaves. It will never stop being disconcerting that Trump unleashes harsher rhetoric against Kimmel and other comedians than he does against Iran, Russia, or international terrorists.

Trump posted a long tirade attacking Bill Maher and Gavin Newsom. It's a steaming pile of lies and hate. Don't bother reading it unless you have a strong stomach.But just look at it and be dumbfounded at how we got to a place where someone this deranged holds a position of power.

Jimmy Kimmel Hosts the ALTERNATIVE White House Correspondents’ Dinner Featuring Snowflake Trump

On Saturday the White House Correspondents’ Association is holding their annual gala dinner. However, there are some notable differences with this year’s event from those held previously. For one thing, this will be the first time that Donald Trump will attend as president. Which many people regard as an incentive to skip the whole thing.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Jimmy Kimmel with Trump baby

Another difference is that this year’s entertainment will be provided by a magician/hypnotist, rather than a comedian. Is that because Trump’s ego is too delicate to tolerate any humor at his expense, or is it some sort of attempt to plant post-hypnotic MAGA suggestions into the audience? In any case, it is being reported that Trump will not stick around after he delivers his remarks, that are expected to be a “revenge” rant aimed at the media that he despises. So he will miss the hypnotist, as well as the awards that are being given to journalists, many of which are for articles revealing his innumerable failures.

SEE THIS: The White House Correspondents Association Awards Are Gonna Really Piss Trump Off

Consequently, on Thursday night Jimmy Kimmel sought to remedy that absence of a comedian at the dinner by putting together his own version of the speech that he would give if he were the guest speaker (video below). He called it “The Alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” and introduced it saying that…

“Typically somebody funny shows up and roasts the luminaries, the president, and everyone. But our president is a delicate snowflake, with the the thinnest fat skin ever. And that means there’s gonna be no comedian this year. So I thought why not take a page from the ‘Kid Rock Alternative Halftime Show.”

Whereupon Kimmel presented a hilarious address that mocked Trump, Melania, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, Robert Kennedy Jr. Stephen Miller, and FCC chairman Brendan Carr. Some of whom will be at the real dinner because CBS, in a show of pathetic capitulation, has invited Hegseth and Miller as their guests. Here a few examples from Kimmel’s speech that would definitely upset our Fragile-Flower-in-Chief…

“We’ll get you all dressed up in formal wear, dresses, tuxedos. I haven’t seen this much black since every page of the Trump Epstein files.”

“We’re gonna have fun tonight, and I’m happy you decided to stay, Mr. President. And don’t worry if we bruise your ego, it’ll only make your hands look less disgusting.”

“The president didn’t want me to tell any jokes about him tonight, but he also didn’t want to pay me $130,000 to shut up. Sorry Mushroom Dick.”

“I get why you think you’re Jesus. This guy, every time he walks into a room, people say, Christ, he’s back.”

“You’re looking good, Mr. President. Who did your makeup? Kraft Singles?

“President Trump has accomplished so much during his second term. He passed new incentives for oil and gas. He put the brakes on solar and wind. That will be your legacy, sir, breaking wind and passing gas.”

Can you imagine Trump finding any of that funny? Kimmel also paid tribute to Trump by presenting him with another of the fake participation trophies that he loves so much. This one is the much coveted “Burger King of Comedy Gold Award.”

It will be interesting to see just how badly Trump foams at the mouth while spewing hate during his remarks. And the quick cuts to his angry reactions to other speakers will also provide some entertainment. And much of that will likely be unintentionally hilarious. But for actual comedy value, we will have to be satisfied with Kimmel’s fake speech. So for your entertainment pleasure…

Stephen Colbert Delivers a Hilarious Acceptance/Farewell Speech at Writers Guild Award Ceremony

The 78th Annual Writers Guild of America’s annual awards ceremony was held Sunday night in New York City. Among the recipients was Stephen Colbert, whose CBS “Late Night” program was recently canceled amid a controversial ownership shake up that put the network into the hands of Trump-friendly billionaires, David and Larry Ellison. Its final episode will air on May 21, 2026.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Stephen Colbert & Trump Baby

Colbert was honored with the prestigious and rarely presented “Walter Bernstein Award” that is presented to a Guild member who has “demonstrated with creativity, grace and bravery a willingness to confront social injustice in the face of adversity.” There is no one who better exemplifies those principles than Colbert. Particularly at this point in his career. Although the punishment meted out by his corporate bosses might have backfired on them…

SEE THIS: NICE WORK CBS! Banning the Stephen Colbert Interview with James Talarico, Got Them Way More Views

Robert Smigel (Saturday Night Live, Conan O’Brien, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, etc.) gave Colbert a lengthy and entertaining, anecdote-laden introduction, reminding the audience of Colbert’s work on many programs, including The Dana Carvey Show, Strangers With Candy, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report. Then he brought Colbert to the podium for his acceptance speech, who led off with a bit of the back story on the award’s namesake. (Colbert begins at about 14:00)

“Thank you for the honor of the Walter Bernstein award. Bernstein was a brilliant writer and, as you know, was Blacklisted. I did a little research, and as I did research I discovered – I don’t know why I didn’t know this – it dawned on me that the Blacklist was not a government policy. The Blacklist wasn’t a law or a regulation or an executive order. It was a voluntary industry-wide agreement to deny work to left-leaning artists out of fear that certain members of the government might publicly attack the parent corporation of these artists for the union that they belong to. It was that threat, only the threat, of trouble, that ended so many careers.”

Colbert was quick to note that he didn’t believe that he had been subject to anything on the level of the 1950.s Blacklisting. Adding that “As far as I can tell, no one in late night is fomenting a revolution.” Then delivering the best line of the night…

“As we know, the revolution will not be televised. It was going to be televised, but then Paramount bought it. Evidently, the revolution was losing, like, $40 million a year. It had to go. I guess the revolution is thinking about starting a Substack.”

Colbert spent a good portion of his speech praising his writing staff, and even pitching for them to be hired after his show ends. He named them all with short personal “tributes” punctuated with fun facts about each one. He also went through a number of jokes that didn’t make it to the air. They included jabs at the Dobbs decision to repeal abortion rights, Kristi Noem’s alleged affair with aide Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s incestuous comments toward his daughter Ivanka, Melania meeting the Pope, and a profane reference to a McDonalds tag line.

All in all, it was an entertaining night of humor and history and a well deserved tribute to a comedy legend. Consequently, we can expect a full blown meltdown by Donald Trump whose aversion to comedy in general, and hatred for Colbert in particular, is well known…

Trump is having a bad night, so he's up rage-posting about TV comedians.He wants Stephen Colbert to be "put to sleep." And he thinks that networks have broadcast licenses (they don't) that should be "terminated."Poor baby isn't getting enough sleep at his Cabinet meetings.

Crybaby Trump Whines that ‘NBC Should Fire’ Seth Meyers, and Worse, His Flunky FCC Chief Agrees

Throughout his occupation of the White House, Donald Trump has impressively proven his steadfast dependability on staying focused on issues that have little to no relevance to the American people. He’s a walking exhibition of the single-minded persistence of a mule suffering from OCD.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Seth Myers and Donald Trump baby

Among the issues that have dominated Trump’s cartoon brain are his lies about his electoral loss in 2020, his obsession with persecuting his political foes, his inbred hatred of immigrants, his suppression of the free press, his shuttering agencies that provide benefits to the needy, and his determination to enrich himself and cling to power.

SEE THIS: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

Another one of Trump’s fanatical fetishes is his aversion to being mocked by comedians. His tender feelings are so sensitive that he becomes apoplectic whenever he is the butt of even a mild joke. And that sensitivity was on display in a comment that he posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, on Saturday night. Reacting to a segment from Friday’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Trump seethed that…

“NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”

Widdle Donnie Trump is a fragile flower who can't take a joke. Because he IS a joke.So he whines that "NBC should fire" Seth Meyers. And his FCC flunky, Brenden Carr, obediently parrots his censorious demand.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-16T11:19:38.071Z

There’s a steaming pile of derp to unpack in that outburst. Let’s start with the fact that Meyers’ show is not “a Ratings DISASTER.” NBC reported its season-to-date average for Meyers at about 1.031 million viewers. Which is pretty good for a post-midnight program. And NBC recently renewed his contract, which drew a threat from Trump. What’s more, at no point was Meyers “in an uncontrollable rage.” Rather, he was calmly delivering his material as usual. See for yourself…

However, perhaps the most troubling thing about Trump’s latest humorsexual harassment is that it was quickly taken up by his chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, who retweeted Trump’s harangue. Carr is notorious for adopting Trump’s hatred for the media, and particularly comedians. He reveled in the brief suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. And he implied on Fox News that he and Trump played a role in the cancelation of Stephen Colbert’s show.

MORE HERE: Did Trump Arrange to Get Stephen Colbert Fired? That’s What His FCC Chair Implied to Fox News

Trump’s hatred and fear of Meyers, Colbert, and Kimmel is shared by his BFF in Moscow, Vladimir Putin, whose government has banned all three of them from Russia. And if Trump has his way, they will suffer the same fate in the U.S.

Which is where Carr comes in. He has the power to threaten the local affiliates of the network with revocation of their broadcast licenses and disapproval of business ventures. Currently NBC’s parent company, Comcast, is exploring a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. For which they would need the approval of the Trump administration.

Trump isn’t bothering to hide his authoritarian aspirations. He is chomping at the bit to deep six anyone who dares to criticize him, whether they be members of Congress, journalists, or comedians. And his contempt for Meyers has deep roots. Meyers’ delivered a withering monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011. And it is a certainty that Trump has not forgotten it…

Seth Meyers Triggers Crybaby Trump to Whine that Being Anti-Trump is ‘Probably Illegal’

For anyone who is still not fully convinced that Donald Trump has authoritarian aspirations, he helpfully continues to provide more proof every day. In both his words and actions Trump demonstrates that he has an insatiable compulsion to reign as an unchallengeable dictator who demands unflinching loyalty to him alone.

Seth Myers and Donald Trump baby

The range of Trump’s atrocities in the past nine months of his second occupation of the White House is impressively tyrannical. He could not be more clear about his nefarious intentions. And his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt was kind enough to remind us all of the sort of monstrous things that Trump is doing while the American people suffer.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is HORRIFIED…By a White House Toilet?

The latest example of Trump’s blatant fomenting of fascism comes in another one of his comments posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In a typically rancid outburst, Trump lashed out at late night talk show host, Seth Meyers, for hilariously mocking Trump’s ignorance and obsession with petty grievances that he pitifully fails to understand. Trump raged that

“Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to ‘perform’ live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? – NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

Trump’s animus toward Meyers has been a decades long affair. It likely began when Meyers was the featured comedian at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2011, where he performed a killer routine that took some jolting jabs at Trump, who obviously didn’t think it was funny. So it hardly matters that today Trump thinks Meyers is untalented. He’s been saying that for years. And he’s still saying it as recently as this past August…

MORE HERE: Snowflake Trump Blasts Seth Meyers and Threatens Comcast Because Jokes Hurt His Tender Fee Fees

What matters is that Trump closed his rant by whining that Meyers was “ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!” That’s right. The American PINO (President in Name Only) has declared that it’s illegal to be anti-Trump. And all because Meyers revealed that Trump is an idiot who knows nothing about whatever subject he is stuck on. On this occasion it was the differences between steam powered or electro-magnetic catapults on aircraft carriers (Video below).

TRUMP: “They’re spending billions of dollars to build stupid electric. And the problem, when it breaks, you have to send up to MIT, get the most brilliant people in the world, fly them out, it’s ridiculous. The steam they said they could fix with a hammer and a blowtorch and it works just as well if not better. And I love the sight of that beautiful steam pouring off that deck – with the electric, you don’t have that.” […]
MEYERS: “[Trump] spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E Coyote. Next, they’re gonna start complaining how our troops don’t tie themselves to rockets anymore, [Imitating Trump] ‘We used to strap our soldiers to the rockets and they loved it, but then everything got woke and they said ‘You can’t tie a person to a rocket. But we miss those days and we’re bringing them back.'”

Then Meyers delivers his new segment “Seth Translates Trump To English,” in which he gives an explanation of the difference between the catapults that is far more detailed than anything Trump could do. Meyers also provides another example of Trump saying that any criticism of him is treason.

SEE ALSO: Trump Accuses Chuck Schumer of Being ‘Almost Treasonous’ Just for Criticizing Dear Leader

It Trump really wants to make any criticism of him a breach of the law – or even worse, treason – he’s going to have to build a lot more prisons. Or at least make more deals for millions of cells is foreign gulags. Needless to say, he won’t get away with it. But he can still do some short term damage. And he must not be allowed any leeway for any of it.

It will take a broad coalition of patriots – Democrats, Independents, and Republicans – as well as the courts and the Congress to smack down Trump’s anti-American crusade. We are all necessary in this valiant fight to 8647. Be strong, and be ready. And recognize that Trump and his MAGA clown brigades are far weaker than he wants you to believe.

LOLOL: Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump in Poll Despite Having No Talent or Ratings (According to Trump)

Nothing is more devastating to Donald Trump than any affront to his massive yet fragile ego. He is perpetually obsessed with numbers related to his public profile: crowd size, ratings and polls. And he refers to them incessantly, generally citing only those that are flagrantly biased in his favor, misrepresenting their findings, or simply making them up.

Donald Trump, Stock Market

Lately Trump has taken a special interest in late night comedy shows on TV. Particularly Jimmy Kimmel Live, whose program Trump managed to get suspended for a few days because Kimmel dared to tell jokes that revealed the truth about Trump. When Kimmel was brought back on Trump suffered a severe emotional breakdown, manifesting in a barrage of typically Trumpian insults and threats…

Ever since his return to the air, Kimmel has demonstrated that he has not been intimidated by the Trump regime and has no intention of softening his comedic approach to the Crybaby-in-Chief. On Monday night Kimmel’s monologue (video below) featured a poll wherein Trump was soundly beaten by Kimmel in approval ratings. This is just the sort of news that leads to a Trump meltdown. Kimmel began by saying that…

“According to YouGov, which is a serious polling site, I am more popular than the president of the United States. Remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us.

“They polled more than a 1,000 people and I lead Trump by 16 points. I’m at plus 3, he’s at minus 13. It’s nice, but considering the fact that I’m not a convicted felon, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and I’ve never paid off a porn star, or sent a team of masked goons into a park to pull an old lady away from her grandchildren, I feel like my rating should be higher maybe than this. At this point finding a toenail in your salad has a 7 point lead over Donald Trump.”

JIMMY KIMMEL BEATS TRUMP!"According to YouGov, which is a serious polling site, I am more popular than the president of the United States. Remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us."

OUCH! Kimmel makes a good point about his ratings being the low side despite the fact that he isn’t a repulsive slimeball with a criminal record. Kimmel still surpasses Trump handily even after all of Trump’s slanderous outrage and relentless and defamatory efforts to muddy up Kimmel’s reputation. And yet, Kimmel continues to take the high road and express a little sympathy for poor baby Trump…

“I hope he doesn’t see this. You know I don’t like to upset him. But I think he might be upset because the White House put out a statement this afternoon – this is a real statement.

‘Over 77 million Americans showed up on election day to cast their ballots for president Donald J. Trump, who is delivering on his overwhelming mandate to put America first. Jimmy Kimmel prays every night to garner a fraction of that support to keep his show on air after ratings dropped 64% last week. Sad!’

“You know what else is sad? That the president of the United States has a lower approval rating than Diddy and diarrhea. That’s what’s sad. If he’s looking to improve his approval ratings, I have an idea. Release the Epstein files.”

Trump is unlikely to take Kimmel’s advice. But that’s only because he knows that his name is plastered all over the pages of the Epstein files. Which is also why Trump is constantly trying to change the subject to distract the American people. He’s sending military troops to invade several peaceful American cities. He’s blowing up possibly innocent fisherman in the Caribbean. And he orchestrated a government shutdown that will cause real harm for millions of Americans.

But at least they won’t be talking about the Epstein files. Oh, wait. They still are.

SRSLY? Kari Lake Says Trump Has ‘the Greatest Sense of Humor of Any Modern Day President…Ever’

Perhaps the most important function of a totalitarian regime is its propaganda aimed at casting the leader as a giant among men with superior intellect, infallible instincts, and unshakeable courage. Which explains why Donald Trump’s propagandists work so hard to make people believe that he is a near deity whose power cannot be challenged.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

The tricky part is that they also need Trump to come off as an everyman to whom all of his subjects can relate. And with that in mind his PR team needs to convince the masses that he has a genial personality, some measure of empathy, and a sense of humor. But given Trump’s well known personality disorders, that’s a task with an extraordinarily high degree of difficulty.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

Now That Trump has orchestrated a shutdown of the U.S. government, the blame game has begun in earnest to politically tarnish whichever party is determined to be responsible for it. That shouldn’t be hard considering that Republicans are in control of both houses of Congress and the presidency, and that they have openly celebrated the shutdown as a long hoped for opportunity to cause great damage to the governmental institutions they despise.

Republicans have no rational argument for continuing the shutdown. And they are taking most of the heat from the public for having caused it. Consequently, they have resorted to a campaign of ridiculing Democrats as a substitute for engaging in a cogent debate.

The campaign of mockery includes a noxious and racist fake video, posted by Trump, of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spouting obscenities. And that was supposed to be funny. However, when the public reaction to it was overwhelming disgust, Republicans complained that Democrats just don’t have any sense of humor.

Among those making that charge was Trump’s head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Kari Lake. She appeared on the right-wing network, Newsmax, with Chris Salcedo to elaborate…

Salcedo: The left is in full collapse. They can’t argue issues anymore. So they argue, “Stop making fun of my stupid policies.” Unreal, isn’t it?
Lake: And they don’t have a sense of humor. That’s funny, no matter how you slice it it’s funny. The memes that have come out of that, and seeing the sombrero everywhere, it just made me laugh.

And if we can’t laugh, my goodness, how do we get through difficult times like we’re seeing right now? I think it’s hilarious. Good for president Trump for having the greatest sense of humor of any modern day president we’ve ever seen, and keeping us in stitches over everything that he’s been putting out on social media.

WHUT? Lake thinks that Trump has “the greatest sense of humor of any modern day president we’ve ever seen”? Now THAT is really funny. Trump couldn’t even show up once to the annual White House Correspondents Dinners, where comedians – and the president – get to crack jokes about politics, and sometimes themselves. His idea of a joke is to ridicule the poor, minorities, the disabled, women, and always those on his personal enemies list. He’s just plain cruel.

Lake also thinks that Democrats need to get a sense of humor. Really? Trump and his MAGA minions got Stephen Colbert canceled (but not until next May). They got Jimmy Kimmel thrown off the air (for a few days). Trump celebrated those victories for censorship by declaring that Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers would be next.

Republicans all cheered this muzzling of comedians that was orchestrated by Trump and his fascist regime. And yet, the MAGA GOP is incensed that Democrats don’t find Trump’s flagrant racism funny.

However, there are some significant differences between Trump’s pathetic, allegedly humorous put downs of Jeffries and Schumer, and the Democrats’ response to it. First of all, no Democrat has censored Trump or any other Republican for their lame attempts at comedy. And secondly, the Democrats’ humor is based on the politics and policies of Trump and the GOP, while Trump’s humor is just infantile invectives and bigotry aimed at society’s most vulnerable.

The fact that Lake and other Trumpists actually think that they can sell the preposterous notion that Trump is America’s funniest president is downright hilarious. But there is nothing funny about how Trump & Company malign Democrats and disadvantaged Americans. And laugh so heartily while doing it.
