Trump ranting about Jimmy Kimmel online has become so common that the host barely bats an eyelid.

"I woke up this morning, I'm in bed, my wife comes out of the bathroom. She's got her phone, she goes, 'Um, Trump tweeted you should be fired again.' I was like 'Oh', then I went downstairs and made bagels for the kids," says Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above, referring to a Truth Social post in which the president wrote "Get the bum off the air!!!"

"And he posted this, this is interesting, at 12:49am, 11 minutes after the show ended on the East coast," says Kimmel. "Which is nice, he watches us live. Hi Mr President! How are you? Thanks for watching us on TV instead of on YouTube, we appreciate that, and I'll tell ya, it's viewers like you that keep us on the air, ironically."
