The former President Donald Trump is celebrating after the radically liberal late night host Jimmy Kimmel suggested that he may be retiring from late night.
Trump Trashes ‘Loser’ Kimmel
“They could get a far more talented person, who would also get better Ratings, for 5% of what they are paying this Loser!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social social media platform alongside a link to an ABC News article that was titled “Jimmy Kimmel hints at retiring from talk show: ‘I think this is my final contract.”
“I think this is my final contract,” Kimmel told the Los Angeles Times. “I hate to even say it, because everyone’s laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to not be the case.”
“I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good,” he added. “That seems like enough.”
Kimmel recently celebrated the 21st anniversary of his late night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Kimmel’s Future Plans
As for how he plans to occupy his time when he retires, Kimmel said, “I don’t know exactly what I will do.”
“It might not be anything that anyone other than me is aware of,” he continued. “I have a lot of hobbies — I love to cook, I love to draw, I imagine myself learning to do sculptures. I know that when I die, if I’m fortunate enough to die on my own terms in my own bed, I’m going to think, ‘Oh, I was never able to get to this, and I was never able to get to that.’ I just know it about myself.”
Kimmel admitted that the idea of dying without accomplishing everything that he wants to do in life “bums [him] out a little bit.”
“I know that when I die, if I’m fortunate enough to die on my own terms in my own bed, I’m going to think, ‘Oh, I was never able to get to this, and I was never able to get to that,’” Kimmel added. “I just know it about myself.”

Kimmel Responds To Trump
Kimmel has long had one of the worst cases of Trump derangement syndrome of anyone in television. Last night, he responded to Trump calling him a “loser” for suggesting he may retire.
“This apparently caught the attention of America’s most famous tangerine,” Kimmel said in his monologue.
“And I got to say that is a hell of a way to find out you’re not going be somebody’s running mate,” he continued. “He has no idea how delighted I am by something like this. I’m going to try to enjoy it, because he probably won’t be able to do this when they take away his phone in prison, so I’m going really like, soak it in.”

Kimmel has shown time and time again over the past few years that he truly is a loser, so we applaud Trump for calling him out. In the end, the world of television will be a far better place if Kimmel does indeed retire, so we can only hope that he follows through with his plan!
