""I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back," Trump wrote. "The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his "talent" was never there." Trump went on to accuse broadcaster ABC of "playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE," and said Kimmel was "yet another arm of the DNC," short for Democratic National Committee."
"In July, US broadcaster CBS said it would cancel "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" next May. The network said it shut down the decades-old TV institution for financial reasons. But the announcement came three days after Colbert criticized the settlement between President Trump and Paramount Global, parent company of CBS, over a "60 Minutes" story. Trump expressed his delight at the decision and said he heard Kimmel would be "next.""
US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social expressing surprise that ABC lifted Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. Kimmel's show had been taken off air six days earlier after comments about Charlie Kirk's death. Trump said the White House was told the show was cancelled, claimed Kimmel's audience was gone, and accused ABC of airing "99% positive Democrat GARBAGE" and being an arm of the DNC. Trump warned he would "test ABC" and referenced a prior $16 million payment after confronting a broadcaster. CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for financial reasons after Colbert criticized a settlement. Sinclair and Nexstar affiliates refused to air Kimmel's show in several cities.
