Donald Trump Calls Jimmy Kimmel a ‘Lowlife,’ Rejects Any Apology Over Melania Joke and Warns ABC in ‘Great Jeopardy’

Donald Trump has made it clear he has zero interest in any apology from Jimmy Kimmel, calling the late-night host a lowlife no matter what.

The president kept up his ongoing feud during a chat on Newsmax with Greta Van Susteren the other day. This all started after Kimmel made a joke about Melania Trump that did not land well with the first family.

Trump did not hold back when asked if he would accept any apology. “I haven’t heard him apologize but he’s a lowlife whether he apologized or not,” he said. “He’s a lowlife. He always has been. He shouldn’t be on television.”

He went on to say he cannot figure out how someone like that stays on the air especially when the network gets free use of public airwaves yet spends all its time going after Republicans conservatives and him personally.

Trump also took a shot at Kimmel’s humor and ratings saying the guy just is not funny and he does not get how ABC keeps him around. He warned that the network could be putting itself in real trouble especially after that big settlement they made with him before.

The whole thing kicked off when Kimmel joked about Melania having a glow like an expectant widow during one of his monologues. Melania called it hateful and violent rhetoric. Trump demanded on Truth Social that ABC fire the seriously unfunny comedian right away.

Kimmel later tried to explain it was just a light roast about their age difference and how happy she looks around him. He said sorry if it upset them but stood by the joke not being anything like a call for harm.

This is not the first time Kimmel has run into issues either. His show got pulled off air last year after some other comments but he came back after a short break.

Trump brought up his past legal win against ABC and George Stephanopoulos too reminding everyone the network had to pay out millions over false statements.

For now the back and forth keeps going with Trump showing no signs of letting it drop.
