=====================================================================

Jimmy Kimmel, the popular American talk show host, has become a naturalised Italian citizen, sparking speculation about a potential exit plan from the United States during Donald Trump's presidency.

In a candid interview on "The Sarah Silverman Podcast", Kimmel expressed his dismay over Trump's presidency, describing it as "worse than [he] would like it to be"[1]. This comment was a response to Trump's boast that "Jimmy Kimmel Live" would be the next late-night show to be canceled.

Kimmel's Italian citizenship was obtained this year and was discussed in the context of celebrities leaving the U.S. following Trump's election. Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, among others, have reportedly fled the country, with O'Donnell moving to Ireland and O'Donnell stating she would not return until the current administration is "completely finished and held accountable for their crimes"[1].

When asked about returning to the U.S., O'Donnell stated that she would not do so until the current administration is "completely finished and held accountable for their crimes." Kimmel, on the other hand, has expressed that he is welcoming to those who want to change their minds and admit they were wrong[1].

The speculation about Kimmel's potential exit plan was further fuelled by his comments on the same podcast, where he stated that he is open to the idea of leaving the U.S. if necessary[1]. However, Kimmel has also made it clear that he does not hold grudges against those who voted for Trump if they decide to change their minds and join the opposition[1].

The phrase "wonderful secret" in Kimmel's comment is a reference to a Wall Street Journal story published on July 17, which claimed that Trump sent a letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 that was included in a birthday album of well-wishes[1]. Kimmel responded to Trump's comment with the statement, "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret."

It is important to note that Kimmel has been vocal in his criticism of Trump, regularly bashing him during his late-night monologues. The talk show host's Italian citizenship has added fuel to the speculation about celebrities leaving the U.S. due to Trump's presidency.
