‘Frankly, you’re a terrible reporter. You know it and so do I.’

Democrats and their media sock puppets are falsely framing the suspension of caustic late-night loudmouth Jimmy Kimmel as the suppression of free speech, but President Donald J. Trump isn’t letting them get away with it.

On Friday, Trump conducted a clinic on how to beat the press while fielding questions from the media, as he decimated hack reporter Jonathan Karl in the Oval Office after the ABC News White House correspondent tried to run down the bogus narrative.

ABC-Disney pulled the plug on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcasting objected to his false characterization of Charlie Kirk’s assassin as a MAGA Republican, pure propaganda from the late-night host whose show has long functioned as a de facto propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.

Karl: You’ve said you restored free speech in America. Is that free speech including for people who are harshly critical of you?

Trump: I’ve become immune to it… That’s why your network paid me $16 million.. That’s why CBS paid me a lot of money too. And that’s why I sued The… pic.twitter.com/5oLBjOw80W

“I just want to settle this free speech question, because you’ve said that you’d restored free speech in America,” Karl asked. “Is that free speech, including for people who are harshly critical of you, for your political opponents, for people who say things you don’t like… who treat you unfairly?”

“I’ve become immune to it. There’s never been a person that’s had more unfair publicity than me, and that’s why your network paid me $15 million, or $16 million dollars, I believe to be exact, George Slopadopoulos,” Trump responded, referring to last year’s defamation settlement after the network’s star anchor falsely branded him as a rapist.

“And that’s why CBS paid me a lot of money, too. And that’s why I sued The New York Times two days ago because, well, I’m winning. I’m winning the cases, and the reason I’m winning the cases is because you’re guilty, Jon. You’re guilty. ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair network,” the president continued.

“And you should be ashamed of yourself. NBC is equally bad. I don’t know who’s worse. I think they’re equally bad, and you know, for you to stand there and act so innocent and ask me a question like that,” Trump added.

“You paid a big price because you were dishonest, Jon,” Trump said, peeling the bark off of the humiliated presstitute.”The reason that I won that lawsuit was because you were dishonest. You were proven to be dishonest, and so, you can’t sit back and just say, ‘Oh, well, what do you think?’  like you’re some wonderful person. You’re not a wonderful person. Frankly, you’re a terrible reporter. You know it and so do I.”

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED,” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social, celebrating ABC’s yanking of the toxic Kimmel. “Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!”
