🚨 BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel BLASTS Trump in Savage 25-Minute Monologue

Jimmy Kimmel made a thunderous return to ABC, delivering a 25-minute opening monologue that left audiences stunned, laughing, and thinking all at once. After weeks of being silenced at Donald Trump’s demand, Kimmel didn’t hold back — he tore into Trump, his FCC allies, and the creeping authoritarianism threatening free speech in America.

From the very first joke, Kimmel came out swinging. He zeroed in on FCC commissioner Brendan Carr, calling him “Trump’s wannabe mob hitman” and un-American for threatening networks that aired satire or criticism of the former president.

“Brendan Carr is the most embarrassing car Republicans have embraced since this one. And that’s saying something,” Kimmel quipped, reminding viewers that Carr himself once praised political satire as one of the most important forms of free speech. “So what happened to THAT guy? Now he’s Trump’s hitman, threatening networks like some wannabe mob boss. That’s not legal. That’s not American. That is UNAMERICAN and it is SO dangerous.”

Then Kimmel turned his attention directly to Trump, delivering lines that were as sharp as they were biting:

“The president celebrates Americans losing their jobs because he can’t take a joke… He wants me, Fallon, Seth Meyers, and hundreds of others fired.”

He warned the nation about the stakes of such attacks:

“If we don’t have free speech, then we just don’t have a free country. Rights topple like dominoes.”

Kimmel didn’t stop at Trump alone. He slammed attacks on journalists, highlighting Pentagon policies requiring reporters with clearance to pledge silence, even on unclassified information. He stressed the importance of protecting the press, calling the attempt to muzzle voices a direct threat to democracy:

“When the government tries to silence a comedian the president doesn’t like, it’s ANTI-AMERICAN. It is the very opposite of what this country stands for.”

Throughout the monologue, Kimmel masterfully blended humor with serious commentary. He mocked Trump’s bizarre UN rants about windmills and terrazzo floors, joking about the absurdity of a president complaining over building materials.

“He said, ‘You could have had marble. You got terrazzo. You could have had mahogany. You got plastic.’ Five translators had to be hospitalized for confusion.”

And then came the punchlines that left viewers in stitches, skewering Trump’s press appearances with RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz:

“Follow Trump’s advice and you too can look like a glazed ham with deep vein thrombosis.” 😂

Beyond the jokes, Kimmel’s monologue carried a powerful message about free speech, democracy, and the dangers of authoritarianism. By exposing Trump’s inability to handle criticism or humor, Kimmel reminded Americans why satire and comedy are vital in holding power accountable.

“This isn’t just about comedy,” Kimmel said. “It’s about our country. If we can’t laugh at those in power, if we can’t speak truth to them, what are we left with? Fear. Silence. Control.”

The response online was immediate and fervent. Fans, comedians, journalists, and advocates for free speech flooded social media, praising Kimmel for his courage. Many called the monologue one of the most ferocious defenses of free speech in years, applauding how he balanced humor, critique, and urgency.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the stage was more than just an opening monologue — it was a cultural statement. It was a reminder that satire is essential, that truth is necessary, and that no one, not even a former president, is above scrutiny.

As Kimmel wrapped up, he left audiences with a stark yet humorous warning:

“Trump can’t take a joke. He can’t take criticism. He can’t take the truth. That’s why America must keep laughing — and fighting.”

In a time when free speech feels under siege, Kimmel’s monologue is a rallying cry: comedy matters, journalism matters, and the fight for liberty continues — one laugh at a time.
