President Donald Trump<\/a> threw a fit on social media on Tuesday night as late night TV nemesis Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> headed back to the airwaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He said Kimmel should \u201crot in his bad Ratings,\u201d called his show a \u201cmajor Illegal Campaign Contribution\u201d to the Democratic National Committee and threatened legal action against the \u201ctrue bunch of losers\u201d at ABC. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI can\u2019t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back,\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social<\/a> website about an hour before Kimmel\u2019s return to television. \u201cThe White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite Trump\u2019s claim, Kimmel\u2019s show was suspended<\/a> \u2015 not canceled \u2015 over comments the host made about the suspect in the public assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n After facing intense public pressure<\/a> in support of Kimmel, the company this week announced the show\u2019s return<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWhy would they want someone back who does so poorly, who\u2019s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHe is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Then, he threatened ABC with another lawsuit after settling with the network last year<\/a> in a defamation case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI think we\u2019re going to test ABC out on this. Let\u2019s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cThis one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump also said Kimmel\u2019s audience is \u201cgone.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kimmel had 1.77 million viewers per night in the second quarter, behind \u201cLate Show\u201d host Stephen Colbert (2.42 million) and ahead of NBC\u2019s Jimmy Fallon (1.19 million), according to Late Nighter<\/a>, which noted that Kimmel is number one among late night hosts in the 18-49 demographic that advertisers value most. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump has had it out for late night shows for years and reportedly tried to have Kimmel censored<\/a> during his first term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump celebrated the announcement earlier this year that Colbert\u2019s show had been canceled, and warned that others \u2015 including Kimmel \u2015 would be \u201cnext<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kimmel\u2019s suspension came shortly after Trump\u2019s hand-picked Federal Communications Commission Chairman, Brendan Carr, issued a not-so-veiled threat to ABC over the show. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Truth<\/span>Saves<\/span>Lives<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Donald](\"https:\/\/img.huffingtonpost.com\/asset\/68d364971400004dd45c5d28.jpg?ops=scalefit_720_noupscale&format=webp)
