COMEDIAN Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he may move to Europe thanks to President Trump.
Kimmel told Sarah Silverman on her podcast that he may need to lean on his Italian citizenship out of fear of what Trump may do to him.
The host, 57, claimed that he and fellow late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon may be the next ones to lose their jobs after CBS host Stephen Colbert’s show ended.
Trump has previously doubled down on comments about Fallon and Kimmel possibly losing their jobs and “having no talent.”
The president said that late-night TV “hasn’t worked.”
“Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent,” Trump said.
“They’re next. They’re going to be going. I hear they’re going to be going.
“I don’t know, but I would imagine because they’d get — you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.”
In response to Colbert’s show ending and Trump’s claims, Kimmel confirmed that he has a backup in case he needs to flee the country.
“I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel said.
“I do have that.”
Silverman mentioned that many other critics of Trump have also thrown around the idea of fleeing the country.
“What’s going on is … as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it’s so much worse,” Kimmel said.
“It’s just unbelievable. I feel like it’s probably even worse than [Trump] would like it to be.”
The comedian mentioned that he supports those who were once MAGA followers, now doing a 180 on their political beliefs.
Kimmel talked about Trump’s strict crackdown on immigration and the president’s new deportation policy.

“There are a lot of people … now you see these clips of Joe Rogan saying, ‘Why’s he doing this? He shouldn’t be deporting people,’” he said.
“People go, ‘F–k you, you supported him.’ I don’t buy into that. I don’t believe ‘F–k you, you supported him.”
Kimmel went on to talk about how the “door needs to stay open” for those who choose to switch political parties.
