Rolling Stone is reporting that Trump was so upset at late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel for his constant jokes that he tried to silence him by having White House Officials call Disney and demand action against him.

The then-president, according to two former Trump administration officials, was so upset by Kimmel’s comedic jabs that he directed his White House staff to call up one of Disney’s top executives in Washington, D.C., to complain and demand action

Trump whined that Kimmel was being very dishonest about him

An anonymous source within Trump's White House said, "Nobody thought it was going to change anything but DJT was focused on it so we had to do something…It was doing something, mostly, to say to [Trump], ‘Hey, we did this.’”

That's the spirit.

Trump was the most thin-skinned man to ever hold office. There was no president before him that tried to get so many people fired for either poking fun at him or actually telling the truth about him.

As North Korea was trying to develop long range missile technology Trump focused his attention more on late-night television and cable TV news.
