President Donald Trump has targeted Jimmy Kimmel and ABC-Disney as a distraction tactic to distract Americans from issues that matter. This follows allegations that Kimmel offended Trump and his wife, Melania, with a joke he made on his late-night television show about their marriage. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was reportedly preparing to review and possibly challenge the broadcast licenses his agency issues to Disney for ABC stations. This move comes after Brendan Carr, Trump's loyal henchman at the FCC, ordered the companies to file early license renewal applications for their television stations, violating the free speech ABC allows Kimmel to use. The author suggests that this tactic is an attempt by Trump to distract him from other issues, such as gas prices and the potential cost of a $400 million ballroom he plans to build on the site of the White House East Wing. He also criticizes the Department of Justice for withholding documents, which is now being investigated by the Government Accountability Office for potentially violating free speech.
