Jimmy Kimmel used his late-night monologue to demand President Trump resign after Democrats reclaimed the House and Senate, insisting nobody wants him while the White House called the host a no-talent loser with tanking ratings.

Disney’s ABC late-night host spent Wednesday night railing at the president after Democrats took back control of both chambers of Congress, Breitbart News reported.

Kimmel framed the midterm result as a personal rejection of Trump, told him to quit, and answered a White House statement that had already dismissed his pre-election monologue.

He showed the audience a Trump White House post on X. The caption read, “PSA: Trump is still your president,” with an image of the president standing in the Oval Office.

Kimmel rejected that message on the spot.

"That is such crap."

He then argued Trump was blaming everyone but himself and claimed the president had divided the country more than anyone before him.

"You were on the ballot. You’re like dog hair; you’re on everything. You’ve infected every nook and cranny of our lives. You divided this country like no one else ever divided it before."

Kimmel tied the midterm outcome to that charge and cast the election night as a rare moment of unity against Trump, a tone that tracked other celebrity pile-ons such as when Art Garfunkel talked of leaving the U.S. over the president.

"The only time you ever brought us together was yesterday, when we all teamed up to get rid of you!"

From there he moved straight to a resignation demand and used a nickname for the president.

"The verdict is in, and there’s only one thing left for Nappy Gilmore to do: Resign."

He kept going. Kimmel told Trump to leave office, claimed even Trump no longer wanted the job, and floated a fantasy exit built around crypto cash and a notorious private island.

"Quit already, just quit. Nobody wants you. Even you don’t want to be president anymore. Take that billion dollars worth of crypto, buy an island. Maybe Epstein’s island? Wouldn’t that be a perfect end to this story!"

The White House had already answered Kimmel’s earlier pre-election monologue. Its statement called him a “no-talent loser who has beclowned himself with tanking ratings.”

Kimmel waved that off as recycled language and said the same basic line had come at him twice in the past year, calling the latest version his “third beclowned.”

He then addressed the White House side with another nickname and argued the timing made the insult look weak on a day Democrats were celebrating gains, the same media impulse on display when Joy Behar coined “Lame Donald Duck” while cheering a claimed Democratic sweep.

"Which is kind of the point of the show, but apparently I’ve beclowned myself once again. And that, by the way, almost word-for-word the same statement they’ve issued about me two times in the past year. I got a third beclowned, which I think is the last warning."

He added one more jab at the messenger.

“The last thing I want to do is tell you how to do your job, Danny Dingle, but today seems like a bad day for you to call me a loser,” Kimmel said.

White House posts Trump is still president

While Kimmel treated the midterms as a verdict that should end the presidency, the Trump White House posted a simple reminder that the election did not remove him from office.

The post’s caption was blunt: “PSA: Trump is still your president.”

Breitbart’s account also noted that Trump congratulated Democrats, suggested working with them on legislation, and said the war with Iran had cost Republicans at the ballot box.

Those points sat alongside the resignation demand, not beneath it. The president remained in office. The late-night host still wanted him gone.

That gap is familiar. Stage monologues move fast. Constitutional terms do not. Crowds that still turn out for Trump, including nights when Trump packed a Daytona arena while a Democratic former president drew far smaller numbers, are not erased by one comic’s monologue.

Late-night politics after a midterm swing

Kimmel’s segment mixed election celebration with a personal campaign to push Trump out. He cast voters as having “teamed up to get rid of” the president, then told the president to resign, cash out, and disappear.

He also leaned on nicknames, “Nappy Gilmore” for Trump and “Danny Dingle” for the White House voice, rather than a policy case for removing a sitting president after a midterm.

Midterms reshuffle Congress. They do not vacate the presidency. Kimmel collapsed those categories on air anyway.

Celebrity mockery of Trump is not new. Former President Obama has worked the same circuit, including when Obama mocked a Trump White House makeover on the trail. Kimmel’s version went further by demanding resignation the night after a congressional swing.

The White House answer stayed on ratings and performance. It called Kimmel a no-talent loser who had beclowned himself and pointed to tanking numbers. Kimmel’s reply was that the insult was stale and poorly timed.

Missing from the exchange was a sober account of what midterms do and do not decide. House and Senate control matter. They do not hand late-night hosts a removal power.

Internal Republican fights over personnel and strategy will continue in public, including pressure episodes such as when Massie urged Trump to fire Hegseth ahead of a House vote. That is governing conflict. A resignation dare wrapped in island jokes is entertainment television.

Kimmel said the verdict was in. The White House said the president was still the president. Only one of those claims matched the office Trump still held when the monologue ended.

Voters can punish a party at the midterm and still leave the other party’s president in the Oval Office. Late-night hosts who skip that distinction turn a congressional shift into a fantasy firing.

When television comedians start writing resignation letters for presidents, it says more about the monologue than about the mandate.
