Former President Donald Trump reignited a familiar feud with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel this week after responding to remarks made during the Grammy Awards — a reaction that quickly became a story of its own.

The exchange began when Grammy host Trevor Noah made a passing joke referencing Jeffrey Epstein. Trump later addressed the comment publicly, denying that he had ever spent time on Epstein’s private island and criticizing Noah’s performance as host. In the same remarks, Trump also brought up Jimmy Kimmel — despite Kimmel not being involved in the Grammys broadcast.

“I thought he did a terrible job,” Trump said of Noah. “Not as bad as Jimmy Kimmel, but pretty close.”

The unexpected mention of Kimmel added fuel to a long-running public rivalry between the former president and the ABC late-night host.
