Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that's possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!

Trump's post celebrating Kimmel's show ending exemplifies grandiose narcissistic supply-seeking through schadenfreude. The most significant feature is a sitting president publicly commanding a television network to cancel specific shows ("Do it NBC!!!"), revealing entitlement fantasies and the conflation of personal vendettas with governance. The framing of a late-night host's departure as "Great News for America" represents characteristic narcissistic distortion—personal grievances recast as national interest. The factual framing is misleading: Kimmel chose to end his show rather than being cancelled for poor performance, and the claim of ratings worse than Colbert is dubious. The imperative tone toward NBC, while not violent, represents an elevated concern given the coercive weight of presidential commentary directed at specific media entities and personnel.

Fact Checks (3)

"Jimmy Kimmel Show is cancelled"

Mostly True

Kimmel announced in early 2025 he would end his show; the final episodes aired in 2025. However framing it as ABC 'having the courage' to cancel misrepresents what was Kimmel's own decision to step down.

"Kimmel has worse ratings than Colbert"

Mostly False

Kimmel and Colbert traded rating positions frequently; Kimmel was generally competitive with Colbert and sometimes ahead in key demographics.

"Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers are on NBC"

True

Both host NBC late-night shows.

Receipts (1)

“Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers are on NBC”

vs.

“Jimmy Fallon is a nice guy, offered as faint praise implying mediocrity or insufficient Trump support”

In May 2020, Trump described Fallon as a 'nice guy' (even if used as faint praise, it remains a fundamentally non-insulting characterization). By September 2025, the source labels Fallon a 'total loser.' Shifting from 'nice guy' to 'total loser' on the same person represents a genuine reversal in personal characterization — not merely a shift in emphasis or a different aspect of the same topic. The 5-year gap and shifting political context are noted but do not fully account for the directional flip from mildly complimentary to outright pejorative.

Overview

Trump celebrates the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show and calls on NBC to cancel Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. The post is a classic dominance display—reveling in an adversary's misfortune while positioning himself as the implicit cause.

Authorship

Posted at 00:04 UTC on Sept 18. Trump was likely at the White House or traveling domestically, placing this around 8:04 PM ET—evening but not late night. The sign-off "President DJT" is a Trump hallmark. The ALL CAPS emphasis, personal insults, exclamation marks, and stream-of-consciousness quality all point to authentic authorship. The slight grammatical looseness ("worse ratings than even Colbert") is consistent with his style.

Psychological Dynamics

This is textbook narcissistic supply-seeking through schadenfreude. Kimmel was a persistent critic; his show's end is experienced as vindication and victory. The call to NBC ("Do it NBC!!!") reveals the fantasy of unlimited power—that networks should cancel shows at his behest. The framing as "Great News for America" conflates personal grievances with national interest, a characteristic narcissistic distortion.

Defense Mechanisms

Devaluation: "ZERO talent," "total losers," "horrible" ratings
Projection: Attributes failure to others while claiming credit for outcomes he didn't cause
Splitting: Good (cancellation, ABC's "courage") vs. bad (remaining late-night hosts)

Rhetorical Techniques

The post uses a victory-lap structure: celebrate → devalue → target next enemies → issue command. "Do it NBC!!!" functions as an implicit threat—a sitting president publicly calling for show cancellations carries coercive weight beyond mere opinion.

Cognitive Notes

Language production is coherent and syntactically adequate. The conflation of Fallon and Meyers as "Jimmy and Seth" is accurate. No notable cognitive markers.
