Trump vs Kimmel: Feud reignites over Epstein joke

Entertainment Nov 21, 2025

President Donald Trump and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel are back in the headlines after Kimmel joked, "We are carefully following the path of Hurricane Epstein right now," on his show.
The jab came right after Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which will make documents related to Jeffrey Epstein public.

What happened next

Trump fired back on Truth Social, calling Kimmel "a man with NO TALENT and VERY POOR TELEVISION RATINGS" and urging ABC to cancel his show.
So far, Kimmel hasn't responded.
Their feud has been going on for a while—just a few months ago, Kimmel's show was briefly pulled off air after another controversial joke, but he returned with support from other celebs and has even said he'd welcome Trump as a guest someday.
