BREAKING: In a fiery monologue, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has unleashed a scathing critique of former President Donald Trump‘s recent tirades on Truth Social. On the first show of 2026, Kimmel highlighted Trump’s staggering output of 556 posts during the Christmas holiday, with a particularly alarming late-night binge of 89 posts just yesterday, January 5.
Kimmel wasted no time addressing Trump’s erratic behavior, declaring, “Behold, the ramblings of a madman. That is real.” This urgent commentary follows Trump’s unprecedented surge in social media activity, which has raised eyebrows across the political landscape.
Trump’s posts from the holiday season included two Christmas addresses that Kimmel deemed essential to highlight. One of Trump’s posts from 12:30 AM on Christmas Eve threatened Kimmel’s show, asking if it should be “terminated.” Just minutes later, at 12:36 AM, he called for the termination of broadcast licenses for media outlets he deemed negative towards him, stating, “If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative… shouldn’t their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!”
Kimmel responded sharply, “This is the vision of sugar plums that are dancing in his head as he goes to sleep.” He further remarked on Trump’s ominous closing message, “Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!” questioning what it could mean for the public.
Yesterday’s posts from Trump focused on a range of contentious topics, including immigration and government criticism, with one post reading, “Tell me again, why do we pay tax money to a broken, lying, thieving government?” This latest outburst from Trump comes as he attempts to rally his base and convey a sense of urgency regarding his political agenda.
The impact of Trump’s social media presence is undeniable, capturing not just the attention of Kimmel but also of the nation. As Kimmel put it, Trump’s social media activity reflects a deeper turmoil, saying, “He’s going down and he’s taking us with him?”
As viewers tune in to catch Kimmel’s latest analysis, the implications of Trump’s words continue to resonate. With the political climate heating up, all eyes will be on how these developments unfold in the coming days.
