Trump Criticizes Jimmy Kimmel Amid Charlie Kirk Memorial Tensions

President Donald Trump sharply criticized late-night host Jimmy Kimmel during Charlie Kirk's memorial, contrasting himself with Kirk by stating he "hates his opponents" and does not wish them well, unlike Kirk who "did not hate his opponents." Trump accused the "radical Left," media allies, and commentators, including those defending Kimmel after his show suspension, of political violence and hypocrisy, suggesting some celebrated Kirk's death. Kimmel's indefinite suspension by Disney sparked backlash from Hollywood stars and the public, leading to a swift reversal by Disney amid significant market value loss and public protests, which some commentators framed as damage control rather than genuine justice. Meanwhile, Disney faced criticism for its initial decision, with observers noting the financial impact of the backlash was key to Kimmel's reinstatement. Additionally, Elon Musk and Trump made headlines at Kirk's memorial with Musk's cryptic hand gesture fueling conspiracy theories online. These events unfold amid broader tensions involving media control and political discourse around the MAGA community and media figures.
