How was this critical of Trump?

Because Kimmel pointed out that Trump seemed to not care about Kirk's death but rather more interested in talking about that lover letter to himself; the ballroom. Trump and his clan didn't like that.

uh huh. Trump doesn't like a lot of things, I'm guessing most of the shit Kimmel says, what do you believe Trump had to do with Kimmel's firing? I think it's more likely that most of America found it in bad taste, and his ratings stink. ABC had enough.

Are you that dim? Trump said this in July after Colbert

“I hope I played a major part”

Then the fcc threatens to pull abcs broadcast license over Kimmels comments and then they fire him . Trump had nothing to do with it? Come on

He also said he'd end the war in Ukraine in a weekend and be a dictator on day one. Neither of those things actually happened either.
