Jimmy Kimmel slammed for saying he got Italian citizenship to possibly escape Trump: 'Epitome of TDS'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel recently made a bombshell revelation, saying that he obtained his Italian citizenship to possibly escape President Donald Trump.

This comes after the POTUS, on Wednesday, August 6, said that late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Kimmel would be "next" to be canceled after Stephen Colbert.

Jimmy Kimmel says he got his Italian citizenship to possibly escape Trump

During the Thursday, August 7 episode of 'The Sarah Silverman Podcast,' Jimmy Kimmel said he did get Italian citizenship when host Sarah Silverman mentioned that many people are thinking about where they can get their citizenship.

"I did get Italian citizenship. And what's going on is as bad as you thought it was going to be. So much worse," Kimmel said.

He then added, "It is just unbelievable. I feel like it is probably worse than even he (Trump) would like it to be."

The host chimed in, "Probably, yeah. I mean, I do every once in a while Google 'Trump regrets' just to see all the people that are not happy, and it makes me hope that this will bring people together."

During a press conference, 'Real America’s Voice' reporter Brian Glenn asked Trump about reports that radio host Howard Stern may part ways with Sirius XM after his contract expires this fall.

Glenn then asked if the "hate Trump" entertainment model was losing popularity with Americans. 

Trump cited CBS’ recent cancellation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' as an example and added that he believes Fallon and Kimmel are next.

"Well, it hasn’t worked. And it hasn’t worked, really, for a long time, and I would say pretty much from the beginning. Colbert has no talent. I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside in the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They’d get higher ratings than he did. He’s got no talent," Trump said.

He added, "Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They’re next. They’re going to be going. I hear they’re going to be going. I don’t know, but I would imagine because they’d get—you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon."

Mixed reactions flood social media over Jimmy Kimmel’s citizenship claim

Several internet users slammed Jimmy Kimmel after he revealed that he obtained Italian citizenship to possibly escape Donald Trump.

A user wrote on X, "Lol the absolute epitome of TDS," while another added, "I should care why? It's a free country... go." 

One person questioned, "Does Jimmy think the awesome @GiorgiaMeloni won't deport him?" Another mentioned, "Enjoy that 50% exit tax."

One user wrote, "What are they talking about? What’s so much worse, their feelings? Honestly don’t get it. Record trade deals. Deportations like he promised. Peace thru strength." Another commented, "Go for it, Jimmy! Bye-bye."

A different user added, "He should leave right now."
