Jimmy Kimmel Obtains Italian Citizenship to Flee Trump Presidency

Jimmy Kimmel has revealed that he obtained Italian citizenship as a backup plan to potentially escape the presidency of Donald Trump after the president predicted Kimmel and fellow late-night host Jimmy Fallon would be "canceled next." Kimmel made this disclosure during an appearance on the Sarah Silverman Podcast, describing the current political climate as much worse than anticipated. Trump criticized both Fallon and Kimmel as lacking talent and suggested their shows would be ending soon. Kimmel also criticized the "loud" left for promoting a woke cancel culture that stifles free expression and makes people wary of jokes, while acknowledging some valid points within that movement. Additionally, Kimmel and Silverman discussed the backlash faced by Trump supporters who express regret about their vote, citing examples like podcaster Joe Rogan's criticism of the president leading to online attacks. Kimmel's remarks and citizenship acquisition highlight the heightened tensions between the late-night hosts and the Trump administration.
