President Donald Trump is no stranger to criticism, but his latest meltdown proves that two names have gotten under his skin: Adam Kinzinger and Jimmy Kimmel. After a brutal takedown by the former GOP Congressman and the late-night comedian, Trump reportedly erupted in a 24-hour social media frenzy, firing off rants, accusations, and even a few desperate attempts at damage control.
The One-Two Punch: Kinzinger & Kimmel Take Aim
The chaos started when former Representative Adam Kinzinger, a longtime critic of Trump and a prominent member of the January 6th Committee, appeared on multiple news outlets calling Trump’s legal troubles “inescapable” and slamming the GOP’s continued support of him.
"The Republican Party is shackled to Trump, and it’s sinking like the Titanic," Kinzinger said during a CNN interview. "The more they defend him, the more they lose credibility."
Kimmel, meanwhile, took things up a notch in his monologue, roasting Trump for his latest social media meltdowns and failing poll numbers. The comedian mocked Trump’s constant whining about “witch hunts” and even called him “the world’s oldest toddler.”
“Trump wakes up every morning like a man who just found out the McDonald’s ice cream machine is broken—furious and ready to throw a tantrum,” Kimmel joked.
Trump’s Meltdown Begins
According to sources close to Trump, the back-to-back jabs from Kinzinger and Kimmel sent the former president into a tailspin. Over the next 24 hours, Trump flooded Truth Social with furious posts, launching into all-caps rants against both men.
In one post, Trump called Kinzinger a “RINO loser” and accused him of trying to “destroy America with the Fake News”. He also referred to Kimmel as a “talentless late-night failure”, claiming that his ratings are “worse than Biden’s approval numbers.”
"ADAM KINZINGER IS A DISGRACE TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY—A TOTAL LOSER!" Trump ranted online. "AND JIMMY KIMMEL IS A THIRD-RATE COMEDIAN WHO COULDN’T MAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD WITHOUT BEING A TRUMP-HATER!!!"
