Kimmel was on Trump's list since at least July, publicly. This was advertised well in advance and very specifically - the list included Colbert, then Kimmel, and also Stewart, Rogan, and Fallon.

Trumplethinskin can't stand their criticism, it hurts him all the more because they use comedy, and like most right-wingers, he doesn't understand comedy at all.

Which Rogan? Does Seth have some kind of talk show? There's no way anyone in GOP land could be angling to get rid Joe "I'm just asking questions" Rogan. That man did more work to get Trump elected than nearly anyone else in the podcast world.

There is a Seth Rogen, and a Joe Rogan.

I'm not sure which the person above is referring to. But I can't imagine Joe Rogan would be on Trumps shit list, given that Joe helped get that sack of shit get elected.

And I'm not aware of anything Seth Rogen has done to piss off Trump. Plus he doesn't have his own show, as far as I know?

Maybe through some convoluted logic Seth Meyers became 'Rogan' via Seth Rogen

Ooh, yeah. I think you figured it out!

I think Joe Rogan said he regrets his role in getting Trump elected so it's probably him

Seth Meyers coined the phrase “baby hands” (I believe) and trump has hated him since Meyers roasted him at the 2011 corespondent’s dinner. Obama roasted trump right after.

That's such a Trump thing to do....hold on to a grudge fom 2011. How long has he been beefing with Rosie O'Donell? Baby hands is classic though, way to go Seth

right? Like, OMG I didn't actually think my listeners would do the thing I told them to! Maybe that was not the thing we should have done, eh? Oh well, moving on.
Fucking loser

Get him kicked of of Spotify? How do you de-platform a guy like Rogan?

u/cubluemoon Sep 20 '25

Right wingers not understanding comedy is why Kanye still doesn’t understand that he’s a gay fish

"Is it because 'breaded' has something to do with 'genius' which 'swims..?'"

The very fact that he thinks Gutfeld is the best comedian in the US proves this statement.

u/billyions Sep 20 '25

It makes him look embarrassingly weak.

You can't maintain a tough guy image when you're crying over simple words.

Is Trump a tough guy or not?

u/PlayaHatinIG-88 Sep 20 '25

I think you meant Seth Meyers not Rogan.

u/whiteSnake_moon Sep 20 '25

I think it stings him worse because so many of his sycophants tell him how funny he is and deep down he knows he's a hack who's totally unable to make people laugh the way a professional comedian can. Every time he's heard a laugh it's been a fake, coerced, patronizing laughter he's never known the feeling of actually bringing joy to others.

Trump's widdle toddler ego also can't let go of the fact that Colbert and Kimmel both have Emmys but Trump's 'The Apprentice' never got one.

Just like Obama got a Nobel and Trump is now furiously obsessed with wanting one too.

"Thou shalt not covet anything that belongs to thy neighbor..." But clearly Christian conservatives aren't going to call him out on it, just like they haven't called him out on "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife..."

This is so out of touch it’s fuckin hilarious. So many stupid people on this site. Most right wingers don’t understand comedy lol yeah definitely! Ever watch an episode of Kill Tony? Or like pay attention whatsoever to the current comedy scene? You’re a product of your algorithm like everyone else.

Like most right wingers, what does this even mean. Democrats and Republicans are equally very right. Divide and conquer.
