Jimmy Kimmel Makes Even Winning an Award About President Trump in Latest Public TDS Meltdown

by

It used to be that winning an award meant celebrating the achievement itself. However, even after winning at the Critics Choice Awards, Jimmy Kimmel quickly shifted the focus to Donald Trump. His acceptance speech became another opportunity to criticize the former president, overshadowing his win and turning it into a political statement rather than a recognition of his work in television.

I’d like to express my gratitude to President Donald Trump; we wouldn’t have achieved this success without his support.

Jimmy Kimmel won the Best Talk Show award at the Critics Choice Awards, but instead of a typical acceptance speech, he quickly turned the focus to President Trump, delivering a sarcastic speech that highlighted how much of Kimmel’s public image revolves around the president.

An Acceptance Speech That Couldn’t Stay on Topic

After thanking the writers, producers, and fans who supported him earlier in the year, Kimmel ended his speech with a direct criticism of the White House.

Kimmel jokingly thanked President Trump, saying, “Without him, we wouldn’t have had anything to talk about tonight.” He continued, thanking the President for providing so much humorous material every day.

The joke got a big laugh, but it also highlighted something we’ve all noticed: Jimmy Kimmel keeps returning to the same topic, whether he’s doing his monologue, being interviewed, or accepting awards. It’s a pattern that’s hard to miss.

When Trump Becomes the Brand

Jimmy Kimmel’s speech wasn’t just a quick joke; it was the most memorable part of the evening. It powerfully summarized a moment that was meant to honor his career and the long run of his show.

You know, even after winning that Emmy, it felt like all anyone was still talking about was Trump. It was almost like the award was just an excuse for Jimmy Kimmel to keep doing his thing, riffing on the former president – it didn’t feel like a real ending to anything, just another opportunity to address him. It was weirdly centered on Trump even in a moment meant to celebrate his success.

This obsession has become so common that it’s starting to overshadow genuinely good accomplishments. Winning an award should be the satisfying end of a process, not a chance to start complaining all over again.

A Familiar Cycle in Late-Night Television

I’ve always enjoyed a bit of politics in late-night comedy, but lately, Jimmy Kimmel’s segments feel less like thoughtful reactions to current events and more like he has to talk about Trump. It’s gotten to the point where mentioning Trump isn’t a spontaneous joke—it’s just automatic. You can practically predict the punchline and the audience’s reaction; it feels scripted and repetitive, honestly.

It’s ironic that even when others are being celebrated, Trump still manages to be the center of attention. Kimmel’s award wasn’t just recognition of his own work; it highlighted how much Trump still occupies his thoughts and creative process.

Winning Should Be Enough

Eventually, a win should simply be celebrated. Awards, public acknowledgement, and professional recognition should be enough—they shouldn’t become a platform for political statements.

But on this night, even holding a Critics Choice Award wasn’t enough to let go.

Jimmy Kimmel seems to consistently make President Trump the focus of his attention and shows.
