Trump's Verbal Assault on Kimmel and Stephanopoulos
Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, launched a scathing attack on Jimmy Kimmel and news anchor George Stephanopoulos after watching the Oscars and This Week on ABC. Trump took to Truth Social to criticize Kimmel's hosting at the Oscars and suggest replacing him with George Stephanopoulos.
An Escalating War of Words
Trump's tweet described Kimmel as below average, prompting Kimmel to respond during the award show. Kimmel defied orders not to read Trump's post and humorously referenced Trump's legal battles. Trump's tactic of attacking opponents with derogatory nicknames is a classic move he has used since his 2015 presidential campaign.
Proving His Image as a Fighter
Trump's attacks on Kimmel and Stephanopoulos reinforce his image as a non-traditional politician and a fighter. However, this strategy may also make him seem petty and distract from crucial policy messaging ahead of the 2024 election.
Trump's Social Media Reach and Impact
Despite Trump's smaller reach on Truth Social compared to Twitter, his posts continue to grab headlines. While this tactic was successful in 2016, its effectiveness in 2024 remains uncertain, as public opinion on Trump is well-established.
