5:18 PM PT — President Trump just reacted to Kimmel being taken off the air … congratulating ABC “for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.”
Trump posted on Truth Social, “Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED.”
The Prez added … “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible.”
Jimmy Kimmel is in timeout with ABC … the network is suspending him … and it’s all over what he said about the alleged Charlie Kirk killer.
Before ABC announced the move, station owner Nexstar Media Group said … “Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

Jimmy went on TV and said …. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Nexstar owns ABC affiliates in 32 cities across the U.S., including in New Orleans, Nashville and Salt Lake City.
