Jimmy Kimmel- Donald Trump Back and Forth Over the Years- Trump’s Tweet at Oscars 2024 is Not the First Time These Two Have Butted Heads
This year, talk show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel returned to the 96th Academy Awards and guaranteed a shared moment of laughter. Whether it was his monologue or recent jibe at Donald Trump, the host continues to gain attention. However, his comments on the former president aren’t the first time Kimmel openly brought up his critical exchange of words.
It all started when The Jimmy Kimmel Live host openly discussed a Rolling Stone article, stating that Donald Trump has been furious at the host’s jokes about him since 2018. He even tried to convince Disney to censor Kimmel’s monologues but this couldn’t happen.

Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,”…

However, this isn’t the first time Kimmel and Trump have exchanged such comments about each other, as the comedian himself talked about an article that says Trump’s administration tried hard to convince Disney to censor the host’s monologues. This revelation came out last year through Jimmy Kimmel Live, in which he said:
“The first time Donald Trump ever tries to stop someone from talking about him on television and it’s me… Usually, when he want somebody to stop talking about him he pays them a hundred thirty thousand dollars… I wonder what it was specifically that sparked this Trumper Tantrum.”
Jimmy Kimmel continued by expressing confusion about what jokes Donald Trump couldn’t handle about him and even labeled it as a “Trumper Tantrum”. However, the talk show host then got a bit serious, talking about comedians getting under fire for controversial jokes.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live star also called it a “blatant abuse of power” pointing out to a news outlet, asking if they would defend him on this. Kimmel even showed some of Trump’s clips, bashing him for abusing his powers.
