Kimmel Hits Back at Trump For Targeting Late Night Hosts: ‘You Should Quit That Boring Job’

President Donald Trump started his weekend off by tossing out some tweets about late-night hosts, unfair coverage and a demand for “equal time.” He also accused late-night comedy show hosts of being in cahoots with Democrats.

It was probably only a matter of time for one of the hosts Trump was targeting to respond. Enter ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.

Excellent point Mr. President! You should quit that boring job – I'll let you have my show ALL to yourself #MAGA

After Kimmel offered up his late-night spot to Trump should he resign from the White House, one of the president’s sons responded to Kimmel, asking him to respond to the Harvey Weinstein bombshell, leading the ABC host to send out the following tweet:

You mean that big story from the failing, liberal, one-sided @nytimes? I think it is disgusting.

Donald Trump Jr. wasn’t done, though, as he shot back that he was looking forward to Kimmel’s monologues next week about Weinstein, leaving the door open for Kimmel to send this out:

great – in the meantime, enjoy this! https://t.co/kQsBAioFwh

Yeah, Don Jr. kinda walked into that one.
