Former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania have called for late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel to be fired, according to reports. The demand comes amid an ongoing feud between Trump and Kimmel, who has frequently criticized the former president on his show.
Background of the Feud
The Trumps' request for Kimmel's termination follows a series of sharp exchanges. Kimmel has used his platform to mock Trump's policies and personal conduct, while Trump has retaliated with social media attacks and now a direct call for his dismissal.
Reactions from Networks
ABC, which airs Kimmel's show, has not commented on the demand. Industry experts note that such calls rarely lead to action unless there is a breach of contract or major public backlash.
The Trumps' statement did not specify a particular incident that prompted the demand, but sources close to the family cite Kimmel's recent monologue as the final straw. Melania Trump echoed her husband's sentiments, calling Kimmel's content 'disrespectful and divisive.'
Kimmel has not publicly responded to the latest development, but his team has indicated he will continue his show as usual. The controversy highlights the ongoing tension between political figures and entertainment personalities in the current media landscape.
