Facebook and Instagram were down most of Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel said on Kimmel Live. but "fortunately for our president, Twitter was up and running, no problem at all. The president was tapping his tiny little fingers to weigh in on, of all things, late night comedy shows this morning."
Trump was live-tweeting Fox & Friends taking a Jay Leno quote out of context, and he decried the "one-side hatred" on today's late night shows. "What a snowflake," Kimmel said. In the interview, Leno, the former Tonight Show host, was talking about how late night TV has changed, opining that things are harder than when he joked about "horny" Bill Clinton and "dumb" George W. Bush. "He's right," Kimmel said. "It's harder now because Trump is dumb and horny at the same time, and so now we have to cover both things."
