Jimmy Kimmel has had a change of heart after constantly attacking President Trump in nightly monologues on his talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live. In a surprising revelation to Deadline, Kimmel said he plans to go easy on the president in his upcoming standup routine.
When asked whether he had prepared a “barrelful of barbs” for Trump in his upcoming standup comedy routine for ABC’s upfronts, Kimmel said, “So, I don’t know, I don’t know how much focus there will be on that. I think people have had an ass-full of Donald Trump, and I feel like the upfront is a time to look within and make fun of ourselves.”
Kimmel is among a group of anti-Trump Hollywood liberals, mostly Democrats, who routinely attack Trump online and in the media.
Since Trump was elected president in 2016, Kimmel has spent much of his comedic airtime attacking Trump as “mentally ill” and mocking his wife Melania Trump’s Slovenian accent.
But after numerous victories by Trump — both domestic and internationally — public sentiment has shifted as Trump’s approval ratings continue to rise.
Kimmel now acknowledges that his constant attacks on the president have cost him viewers.
“According to polls I’ve seen, it has cost me commercially,” Kimmel told Oprah Winfrey during an interview for her O Magazine in February. “That’s not ideal, but I wouldn’t change anything I said.”
At least he is being honest
the cheeto is still a vile hateful poor excuse for a human being. his tiny hands and insufficient vocabulary continue to be uninspiring. there, jimmy, i’ll do it for u.
I’m not here for the dck sucking and enabling of a grown man child. So there’s that ??
I don’t think Kimmel is having a change of heart about his views, just acknowledging that people are tired of anything that has to do with Trump. I’ve even noticed that I can go days now without getting a news alert about something Trump has said or did – his buffoonery is just expected now, so it is no longer “news.” Trump’s narcissistic self will be devastated though. He likes ANY news coverage, whether he calls it “FAKE” – i.e. news he doesn’t like – or not.
The worst thing for Trump – and best thing for everybody else – is when people stop paying attention to him.
Bashing Trump is low hanging fruit. It’s so predictable and boring. I don’t understand this culture of loving to hate people. It’s like the Kardashians. People love to hate them so much and they feed off of it and only become more and more famous and/or successful. Just quit giving poisonous people attention.

The whole presidency is trash. Throw it all way.
I agree about the Trump bashing, but I’m caught up in the Avenatti chasing Cohen story. I think that’s what people want to know about. That’s the story du jour.
Trump is going to do whatever and I think the “smart” people see through him.

Attacking as mentally ill…he stated the obvious and she needs to work on her English and that putrid accent.
Well we know that Trump likes to see his name in lights and in the media. If you stop talking about and reporting about Trump he will wonder – WHY ARENT you talking about me? It will definitely hurt him.
And did anyone see that item about Trump NOT wishing his wife a Mothers Day?
But after numerous victories by Trump — both domestic and internationally — public sentiment has shifted as Trump’s approval ratings continue to rise.

That’s why I like Stephen Colbert. He roasts Trump mercilessly every night and I am here for it…
You can hate Cheeto personally, However, to hate on the job he’s doing…is just hate for no reason. ..especially some of you nikkas that don’t understand how illegal immigration was fckin up the job market for the low wage making homies.
Jimmy leave that shyt alone chile cape for a demon … You will be demonized … These demons are to have no love… They have harassed stolen enough … Bye Jimmy
Is kimmel even funny?
he has a dry sense of humor, he mostly a nice guy.
You idiotic clown. Shut up.
I watch a few of his late night shows, but stand up hmmmm
As long as Trump keeps acting like an idiot, then he’s fair game for comedians to make fun of him, period.
Yeah, his ratings have risen … from the cesspool, to the toilet.
he started in radio and segued into comedy in late 90’s
What a tool – he sees the tempo changing in the country and now back tracks. Idiot
Maaan ian nobidy stud’n kimmel. They attacked the Obamas from jump street and never stop throughout his presidency. So kimmel needs to take a seat in every chair in the theatre. Somebidy must’ve seriously threatened this fool
LOL.
If the unemployment rate is actually 3.9% how are illegals messing up the job market for low wage earners since Trump has deported less than 10,000 illegals since he’s been in office?
Face the fact that there are jobs that Americans won’t perform regardless of the pay.
LOL.
Wait until gas goes over $4/gallon and we’re at war with Iran.
I agree that illegal immigration is a problem for this country, and disproportionately hurts black people. But, there is so much more he could do to help blacks that he is not doing – jobs program, education, etc.
Girl!! ME too!!……Kimmel is going all soft as a cupcake on Trump now…after going hard on him for a minute…….smdh…flip floppers…
Neanderthals are terrorizing the world with Nukes.That’s how they stay winning And this Neanderthal got Trumps BACK ANYWAY.A dying race realize they must work together or become extinct.

I cancelled my New York Times subscription and my mamas because we were tired of all the Trump stuff. They were recycling the same non-stories everyday. Ten articles about nothing.
Do you actually follow world news? Terror attacks happened in Indonesia this weekend and the attackers were not White. There will always be White-on-White, Black-on-Black and Hispanic-on-Hispanic violence because we mainly live around and co-mingle with our own but as far as worldwide terror goes, it’s not just White people doing it.
He is the best at digging in Trump’s arse!!!
Of course comedians can continue to attack the President. And we Trump supporters can continue not to watch their shows. That is also fair game. Kimmel acknowledged that he has lost viewers as a result of his Trump-bashing. Other shows have as well. There is quality programming that does not bash Trump. There are options.
Instead of hating on Trump and making non-stories news, people should try actually developing an opposition candidate. Democrats get blinded by anger and emotion while Republicans win elections by any means necessary….
Are you trying to say that Kimmel is adhering to that old adage: If we ignore Trump maybe he will go away?
You know how to shut these fools down and with a quickness.
They been so out of control with bashing people for no reason at all it started with Bill Clinton and got more and more excessive with each President and now it’s pure ridiculous. They talk about ish no one cares about and ignore the big stuff that matters. Their jokes were just excessive mean spiteful and mean spirited they lost just as much credibility as fox did when obama was in office.
eff djt…that’s all i got. NOTHING and NOBODY will ever get me to approve of him.
I actually would LOVE to up vote you millions of times.
There’s a reason Donald Trump is the President. Joke all you want but he had the powers behind him.
So did Slave Masters and KKK members.
yup. u summed that up about right.
Both concepts were democrats’ panaceas for black people.
Really, tell us how. How many black folks you seen picking cucumbers and avocado’s?
Doing lawn work?
Hell we had your low wage homie, stealing folks money clean out their purse.
lol… this is funny!!!
LMAOOOOOOOOO
he’s nice.. good people person.. not hilarious to me at least.
Always!!! I be waitin’ on her ‘clown” every time.
True but if u were more literate then you would know those concepts no longer apply.
No, they substituted that for the welfarization of blacks in America, because nothing is more powerful than an educated and independently minded Black family man.
Oh it’s all for money….foh.
wrong is wrong. That orange man is wrong.
They didnt stop going at obama. I can’t. Flip floppers.
But as we know that “plot” wasn’t 100% fool proof because just as many whites ended up on it as well.
You are on welfare, no man in the home, you are a dependent of the state and most vote accordingly to keep that dependency. Those are the consequences intended. That many other people including illegal citizens are taking advantage does not negate my original thought.
Ummm you brought in the welfare system. I was a social worker for 7 years. Sooooooo you aren’t telling me anything that I don’t already know.
Chile you preaching to the choir.
Chile the axis of the entire earth is off, even the volcano in Hawaii is wrecking havoc. FOLKS don’t want to sing Kumbaya. NOPE
LMFAO
If he wants to keep his talk show … he better go easy ?
Then you are a first witness as to how this has devastated the black family and consequently the black community. As it is said, wake up, wise up, rise up. Maybe not Trump but democrats (as what that party has become) for sure not.
I’m not a Democrat either so you wake up! Neither party is perfect and I plan to leave it at just that.
I’ve never been asleep. Proudly independent. And yes, neither party is perfect but democrats have their replacement of blacks lined up. It’s called illegals. And that cannot be left as that.
Ok well good luck in your endeavors and don’t forget your cape.
While thank you. I will make sure I iron that cape and eat all my vegetables too.
???
Interesting
It won’t last; Benedict Donald is a goldmine of material.
Dumb arz Asians, Arabs and Indians have Neanderthal DNA today. We blk people are the only ones that don’t have it.Go read a book–research before you respond to me!!!!!
It’s annoying. Talk about some other shit for a change..
It has gotten to the point that CNN & MSNBC is unwatchable. It can’t be that everything he does is breaking news. I’m ready to move on hope that he helps this country & its citizen be successful. He can’t and we can’t move forward with this type of hate and bashing. Not to mention it’s just not funny anymore.
Still waiting to see the long line from people like yourself in the hot sun picking strawberries and other fruit by hand with no benefits. Slavery was level and black folks didn’t get a salary and you raising hell about someone working illegally and getting low wages.
Amen! Well stated!????
You live in Canada, Craig Hingley. We know you adore trump even though you don’t even live here, and you regularly make fake accounts to go around the internet disparaging rape victims, but making up a fake citizenship too? How weird can you be?
I agree with you. I’m Trump-fatigued. It doesn’t mean that I had a change of heart and like him, I just don’t want him to be a daily part of my human existence.
“Trump fatigued.” Exactly!
If only it were that easy or simple….
I’m in another country, and when people talk to me about Trump, I actually turn around and walk away from them. I’m not kidding. Like, don’t you have something else to talk about?
I don’t watch his boring ass anyway but that is his prerogative but, don’t you dare speak for America. WE HAVE NOT FINISHED UNTIL HE’S OUT.
LIES don’t care who tell them. This is Fake News!
Lol!
Guess that answers it.
And less than a week later:
