Late-night host rips into the President over insults aimed at reporters as Trump renews attacks on ABC and demands action over Epstein files.

New Delhi, November 20, 2025 — US President Donald Trump has reignited his feud with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, launching a new tirade on social media after Kimmel mocked him for his increasingly volatile responses to questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The latest flare-up follows Trump’s signing of a bill urging the US Justice Department to finally release Epstein-related documents. But scrutiny around the issue has triggered a series of angry outbursts from the Trump — including telling a female reporter “quiet, piggy” aboard Air Force One last week when she asked about newly surfaced Epstein emails mentioning him.
Kimmel skewered the remark on Tuesday night, telling viewers, “Every time he gets asked about Jeffrey Epstein, he loses his mind… If a man spoke like that to a female coworker in a workplace harassment training video, you’d say it was over the top.” He added that if the pilot of Air Force One behaved like the President, “he wouldn’t be allowed to fly the plane.”
The US President also lashed out at ABC News correspondent Mary Bruce when she questioned him about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Epstein files during an event with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump called her a “terrible reporter,” accused ABC of being a “crappy company” and suggested its broadcasting license should be reconsidered.
Kimmel shot back, reminding the President that his last push against ABC dramatically backfired, boosting the host’s ratings after an FCC complaint in September. “I don’t know, the last time your FCC guy looked at that didn’t go so great for you,” Kimmel quipped.
The feud escalated further after the President posted a fresh attack on Kimmel, questioning why networks continued to give airtime to someone he claimed had “very poor ratings.”
With the Epstein files once again in the headlines — and the President visibly irritated by persistent questions — the clash between Washington and late-night television appears destined to intensify.
