Jimmy Kimmel mocks Trump for banning press outlets from White House

A man in a suit stands on a talk show stage. A quote from the president is visible at the bottom.

Donald Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, and Jimmy Kimmel has some thoughts on the president “cracking down on that out-of-control first amendment.”

“Yeah, why aren’t these so-called journalists gushing over how well he’s mishandling the war he said was over seven months ago? It’s just not right,” says Kimmel in the late night clip above.

“As his popularity continues to plummet, Trump’s fingers go deeper and deeper into his ears. He does not want to hear bad news. Bad news is fake news to Donald Trump.”

Elsewhere, Jon Stewart also had a blunt response to Trump’s decision to start banning news outlets.
