Jimmy Kimmel Takes Aim at Donald Trump in Christmas Message to U.K. Viewers
Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel delivered a pointed Christmas message to viewers in the United Kingdom, using the holiday greeting to launch a fresh round of criticism against President Donald Trump and the current political climate in the United States.
In the message, Kimmel celebrated the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, boasting that the show came back “bigger and stronger than ever” while taking a jab at Trump’s political fortunes. “We won, the president lost,” Kimmel declared, adding that he is once again on air nightly doing what he says he does best: criticizing Trump.
The comedian did not stop there. Kimmel accused the Trump presidency of fostering an atmosphere of authoritarianism, claiming that “tyranny is booming” in America. His remarks continued a long-running pattern of sharp political satire and outspoken opposition to Trump, which has become a defining feature of his late-night monologues in recent years.
Kimmel has frequently used his platform to comment on U.S. politics, often drawing praise from supporters who applaud his willingness to challenge powerful figures, while also attracting criticism from Trump allies who accuse him of partisan activism disguised as comedy.
The Christmas message, aimed specifically at U.K. viewers, underscores Kimmel’s international audience and the global attention surrounding U.S. politics. As Trump remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern American history, Kimmel shows no sign of dialing back his criticism, positioning himself once again as one of the president’s most vocal late-night adversaries.
