Jimmy Kimmel Tells Morning Joe ‘If You’re a Reasonable Person, You Should Have Trump Derangement Syndrome’

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough that any “reasonable person” should have “Trump derangement syndrome.”

Kimmel joined Morning Joe on Wednesday and discussed his ongoing feud with former President Donald Trump. The two have taken numerous shots at one another, including while Kimmel was hosting the Oscars earlier this year. Scarborough argued no late night host gets under Trump’s “skin” like Kimmel.

Kimmel dismissed anyone accusing him of having “Trump derangement syndrome.”

The comedian said:

“I’m an optimistic person, I’m not hysterical, I laugh when people say, oh, you’ve got Trump derangement syndrome, if you’re a reasonable person you should have Trump derangement syndrome. And by the way, I think he has derangement syndrome about us too. The fact of the matter is, this is a dangerous person, this is a stupid person, and that’s bad combination, and I think what we’re forgetting, I keep forgetting it, and I have to keep reminding myself, he’s not just running for president he’s running to stay out of prison and that’s a pretty powerful thing. He is literally running for his freedom.”

Scarborough then asked Kimmel if he’s “concerned” about Trump’s talk of political retribution and whether Kimmel could face consequences in a second Trump term.

“How concerned are you that what you do right now may have to change if Donald Trump is reelected?” Scarborough asked.

Kimmel admitted he is “concerned,” but he said his monologues on Trump “won’t change.”

“Well, it won’t change. I am not — I’m concerned, certainly, I think that it would be so un-American if he were to come after people speaking out against him,” he said.
