Jimmy Kimmel, a well-known talk show host, recently shared his thoughts on U. S. politics with British viewers. He did this through a special message aired on Channel 4 during Christmas. Kimmel didn't hold back. He spoke about the current U. S. president, Donald Trump, and his actions in office.
Kimmel pointed out that Trump often acts like a king, not a president. He also mentioned that fascism seems to be on the rise in the U. S. "Tyranny is booming over here, " he said. This is a strong statement, but Kimmel has been critical of Trump for a while now.
The tradition of airing an alternative Christmas message started in 1993. It's a way for Channel 4 to offer a different perspective from the British monarch's annual address. Kimmel's message was no exception. It was thought-provoking and reflected on the events of the year.
Kimmel has been a frequent critic of Trump. He even faced suspension from his show after making comments about the shooting of a conservative activist. Trump celebrated the suspension, calling it "great news for America. " This incident raised concerns about freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
But Kimmel didn't back down. He returned to his show less than a week later. He even thanked those who spoke up for free speech, calling it a "Christmas miracle. " He also urged the U. K. not to give up on the U. S. , saying it was just "going through a bit of a wobble right now. "
Kimmel's message was a mix of humor and serious talk. He warned that silencing critics isn't just something that happens in countries like Russia or North Korea. It's happening in the U. S. too. Despite this, he believes in the special relationship between the U. S. and the U. K.
