Jimmy Kimmel Just Went Off on Donald Trump for Mistakenly Tagging a Random Teenage Girl on Twitter

Whoops!

President Donald Trump made headlines earlier this week after he lashed out at Fox News and accused correspondents John Roberts and Gillian Turner of spreading "fake news" when they reported his most recent poll numbers.


But what you see above isn't the first iteration of that tweet. Trump deleted and corrected his first tweet after misspelling "Gillian Turner" as "Jillian Turner" and inadvertently attacking a 15-year-old California high school student.

Trump's error inspired television host Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue, in which he assailed the president for dragging an innocent party into his beef with his favored media outlet.

"Wow," Kimmel said. "Donald Trump attacking Fox News is like Trader Joe attacking the Fearless Flyer. It’s unheard of.'"

“But the best part of the tweet from our stable genius leader is that he misspelled Gillian Turner," he added, noting that “the Gillian Turner from Fox News spells Gillian with a ‘G.’"

The president's "trademark haste," Kimmel said, resulted in his "accidental tweeting at Jillian Turner with a ‘J,’ who turns out to be a teenager from Weed, California, which is where he should be living by the way.”

Jillian Turner was, as you can imagine, taken aback.

And she wasn't happy about it.

She also set her profile to private mode to avoid attacks.

Although the president did delete his original tweet, many expressed their sympathies for the teenager.

Trump's outburst came as the longest government shutdown in American history came to an end with him finally agreeing to a continuing resolution to reopen the government without border wall funding until February 15.

Trump has threatened to shut the government down again if funds for the proposed border wall aren't provided.

“Yeah... he's willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border… He doesn't want to... Let's make that very clear. He doesn't want to declare a national emergency," said the acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

Fox News anchor Julie Banderas criticized Trump shortly after he disparaged her colleagues.

“This is NOT right. I stand by my colleagues @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner They don’t deserve this,” she said. “No reporter does. They are doing their jobs and reporting the facts."

"Bullying journalists is not Presidential," Banderas insisted.

The incident marked a first for Fox News. Trump has often referred to outlets like The New York Times, CNN, ABC, and MSNBC as the "enemy of the people" for printing stories related to the special counsel's Russia probe and anything remotely critical of him or his administration.

Trump Slammed After Using Correspondents' Dinner Shooting As Reason For Why He 'Needs' To Build His New Ballroom

A false flag is defined by Webster's dictionary as a hostile act intentionally designed to "manipulate public perception, create false culpability, or justify retaliatory actions." The phrase is getting a workout online by more than conspiracy theorists after a press conference by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on Saturday night.

That night, Trump was slated to attend and speak at his first White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD) as President. Each year of his first term and in 2025, he denigrated the WHCD and refused to attend.
