Trump Has In-Air Meltdown Over Talk Show Hosts Trashing Him

The president started ranting about Kimmel, before making a chilling, rambling and, most importantly, false comment about free speech.

“A lot of people, anybody could replace him. Guy had no talent. Kimmel had, look, he was fired. He had no talents. He’s a whack job, but he had no talent,” Trump said. “More importantly, the talent that he had, because a lot of have people have no talent, they get ratings. But he had to ratings. His ratings were worse than Colbert, I think. They got rid of Colbert, which was a good thing to do.”

Trump then noted that networks like Kimmel’s employer, ABC, are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, but that’s not necessarily a given.

Kimmel’s suspension reportedly came after FCC chair Brendan Carr publicly called for his removal from the air after he made a joke about the White House attempting to cast blame on anyone on the left for the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Trump also suggested other network talk show hosts may have their jobs at risk if they keep utilizing their First Amendment rights to mock him.

“When you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They are not allowed to do that!” the president falsely claimed.

And, yes, there’s a clip. Gulp!

Considering the First Amendment of that Constitution thingie that Trump swore under oath to protect, a lot of people had problems with his notion that talk show hosts shouldn’t be allowed to “hit Trump.”

Trump’s comments on Air Force One are not the only occasion where he suggested he doesn’t really respect the country’s founding document.
