Jimmy Kimmel Hits Back With A Damning Reminder After Trump's Latest Late-Night Attack

LOADINGERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump lashed out at late-night TV hosts yet again ― but his choice of words left Jimmy Kimmel more than a little puzzled.Trump on Monday took a victory lap in a Truth Social post bragging that he’d “taken out” Republicans who were critical of him in primary elections, as well as “REALLY DUMB” Stephen Colbert, whose show was canceled by CBS.
Trump also said he had “three more limping Late Night Talk Show Hosts” to go, with Kimmel ― who he has frequently attacked ― presumably one of them.Advertisement “Limping late-night talk show hosts?” Kimmel asked.
“I’m not sure I’d be calling us limping when you got cankles like this, honey.” Trump has swollen ankles, a.k.a.“cankles,” due to a condition called chronic venous insufficiency.Kimmel broke out the photo evidence: The left foot and swollen ankle of President Donald Trump are pictured in this July 2025 file photo.

“Shouldn’t the president of the United States have more important things to focus on ― like finding a replacement for Milli Vanilli at his Coachella From Hella?”Advertisement See more in his Tuesday night monologue: RelatedDonald TrumpStephen ColbertJimmy Kimmel Go to HomepageLeave a CommentSuggest a correction|Submit a tipAdvertisement From Our Partner ...
