BREAKING: Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has launched a fierce critique of Donald Trump following the former president’s explosive posts on Truth Social. During his first show of the year on January 5, 2026, Kimmel highlighted Trump’s staggering activity on the platform, revealing that Trump made a jaw-dropping 556 posts over the holiday period.
Kimmel’s monologue, which captivated viewers, began with a stark assessment: “Over the last two weeks, since we left for break, Trump posted on Truth Social 556 times. Behold, the ramblings of a madman. That is real.” The late-night host showcased screenshots of Trump’s most notable posts, including a threatening message posted at 12:36 AM on Christmas Eve, where Trump questioned whether late-night shows should have their broadcast licenses revoked.
Kimmel quipped, “He was in an especially festive mood on Christmas Eve. Just after our show ended, around 12:30 AM, he threatened to terminate us.” Trump’s post read: “If NETWORK NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!”
In a humorous twist, Kimmel added, “This is the vision of sugar plums that are dancing in his head as he goes to sleep.” He pointed out the bizarre nature of Trump’s Christmas wishes, which included a mention of “Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein.” Kimmel further critiqued the ominous tone of Trump’s message: “Then he closed with an ominous message, ‘Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!’ What is he trying to tell us? He’s going down and he’s taking us with him?”
The former president’s activity didn’t stop there. Just hours before Kimmel’s show aired, Trump made another late-night social media binge, posting a staggering 89 times in just one hour. His posts touched on a range of topics including immigration and criticisms of the government, with one post reading, “Tell me again, why do we pay tax money to a broken, lying, thieving government?”
Kimmel’s response to Trump’s tirade has sparked conversations on social media, as viewers and fans react to the ongoing saga of Trump’s social media presence and Kimmel’s sharp wit. The late-night host’s commentary not only highlights the absurdity of the situation but also serves as a reminder of the turbulent political landscape as the new year begins.
As the drama unfolds, audiences are left wondering how Trump’s social media antics will continue to shape public discourse in 2026. With tensions high and emotions running deep, Kimmel’s segment is a must-watch for anyone following the latest developments in American politics.
