Donald Trump Attacks Late-Night TV Hosts in Twitter Rant
by EG
Among the Twitter fights that Donald Trump started this weekend, the most high-profile was with Senator Bob Corker. Trump, however, also spent some of his weekly tweet-rant time attacking late-night TV hosts. All of Trump's targets this week, Corker included, showed they were able to come back with some very witty parries to Trump's insults, but the late-night hosts are professionals. Here's how their responses went down.

President Donald Trump has found himself embroiled in yet another Twitter feud — this time with late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers.
Late Night host are dealing with the Democrats for their very "unfunny" & repetitive material, always anti-Trump! Should we get Equal Time?

The former reality TV star 71, tweeted on Saturday, October 7, that “Late Night host are dealing with the Democrats for their very "unfunny" & repetitive material, always anti-Trump!,” and asked, ”Should we get Equal Time?”
He followed it up with a second tweet, writing, “More and more people are suggesting that Republicans (and me) should be given Equal Time on T.V. when you look at the one-sided coverage?”
Kimmel took the opportunity to respond to the real estate mogul with a sarcastic tweet that said, "Excellent point Mr. President! You should quit that boring job – I’ll let you have my show ALL to yourself #MAGA."
great - in the meantime, enjoy this! https://t.co/kQsBAioFwh

Although Trump did not respond, his son, Donald Trump Jr. jumped in to defend his father by asking, “Thoughts on Harvey Weinstein? #askingforafriend” referring to the sexual harassment allegations concerning the Hollywood producer that The New York Times revealed on Thursday, October 5.
“You mean that big story from the failing, liberal, one-sided @nytimes?” the Jimmy Kimmel Live host, 49, answered. “I think it is disgusting.”
“Great I look forward to your monologues next week. You're probably due for a change if only for a moment or two,” Trump Jr. shot back.
Not to be outdone, Kimmel responded, “great - in the meantime, enjoy this!” while sharing the infamous Access Hollywood clip in which Trump was caught on tape talking to Billy Bush about grabbing women “by the p--sy.”
