44% : "He is yet another arm of the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major illegal Campaign Contribution.
43% : "Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual - that was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make," he added.
39% : Kimmel, a four-time Oscars host, said Trump was not just after comedians he disliked, but also journalists, saying of the Republican president: "He's suing them, he's bullying them." "I know that's not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, but it's so important to have a free press, and it is nuts we're not paying more attention to it," Kimmel said.
27% : Before Kimmel's show aired on Tuesday, Trump wrote that he "can't believe" ABC gave Kimmel back his show, and hinted at further action against the network.
26% : Disney's decision to cut short Kimmel's exile marked a high-profile act of defiance in the face of an escalating crackdown by Trump on his perceived media critics through litigation and regulatory threats from the FCC.
16% : "Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE," Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social.
