AceShowbiz - Donald Trump spent his Saturday, October 7 to call out late-night show hosts on Twitter for their harsh criticisms on their monologues. "Late Night host are dealing with the Democrats for their very 'unfunny' & repetitive material, always anti-Trump! Should we get Equal Time?" the President wrote.

"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?" the POTUS continued. NBC's "Late Night" host Seth Meyers quipped, "We'd love to have you! Studio located at 15 Penguin Avenue, Antarctica."

Jimmy Kimmel, who strongly opposed Republican healthcare system and called for stricter gun law, also responded to President Trump's rant. "Excellent point Mr. President! You should quit that boring job - I'll let you have my show ALL to yourself #MAGA," he deadpanned.

The President's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., stepped in to defend his father. "Thoughts on Harvey Weinstein? #askingforafriend," he wrote, taking a subtle jab at the ABC late-night show host for not addressing the sexual harassment scandal faced by Harvey Weinsten, one of Democrat's major donors.
"You mean that big story from the failing, liberal, one-sided @nytimes? I think it is disgusting," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host quickly replied, mockingly using President Trump's own criticisms against the New York Times. "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. responded.

However, Kimmel got the last word with his parting shot. "Great - in the meantime, enjoy this!" he wrote along with a link to the controversial Access Hollywood tape where Donald Trump boasted about grabbing women "by the p***y."

Donald Trump Jr. himself said back in 2013 that women should stay out of workplace if they couldn't handle sexual harassment. "If you can't handle some of the basic stuff that's become a problem in the workforce today, then you don't belong in the workforce. Like, you should go maybe teach kindergarten. I think it's a respectable position," he said.
