Host Jimmy Kimmel used Donald Trump’s 80th birthday to post a social media jab involving the long-running controversy over the U.S. president’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
In an Instagram post, Kimmel shared a satirical birthday card inspired by a message Trump allegedly sent to Epstein in 2003, on the occasion of the financier’s 50th birthday.
For the post, the comedian adapted the text and replaced the original illustration with a caricature referencing Trump’s physical appearance. “Happy 80th, Donald! [Having] a friend is a wonderful thing. Happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret,” read the text included in the image published by Kimmel.
The joke refers to a card that came to light after reports published in 2025 and was later released by Democratic lawmakers. Trump denies the document’s authenticity and says he never wrote or signed the message attributed to him. The controversy reached the courts, with the president filing lawsuits related to the publication of the material.
Kimmel is a frequent critic of Trump and often uses his show and social media accounts to comment on decisions and controversies involving the president. The new post quickly gained traction online because it coincided with the Republican’s 80th birthday and reignited debates about his past relationship with Epstein.
The White House did not immediately comment on Kimmel’s post. Meanwhile, the publication became another chapter in the long-running exchange of criticism between the host and Trump, who have been involved in several public clashes over the past few years.
