Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK has come to an end, but his comments whilst returning to the US have left things on a particularly sour note.

The President and the First Lady departed the UK for the US today (19 September), and it's been an eventful one to say the least.

From an enormous photo of him and Jeffrey Epstein being projected onto Windsor Castle, to Trump's 'wildly inappropriate' comments about Kate Middleton at the state dinner on Wednesday (17 September), the 79-year-old has seemingly ruffled a few feathers.

Amidst Trump's visit to the UK, news of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, was suspended 'indefinitely' in the wake of his comments on Trump and Charlie Kirk's suspected shooter.

The decision to suspend the show has been met with some criticism from a few famous faces, including Ben Stiller and former President Barack Obama.

The President, however, seemed delighted with the situation, as he wrote on Truth Social: "Great News for America: The ratings-challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.

"Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT."

And on his way back to the US on Air Force One, Trump further spoke about the matter, adding that perhaps some networks should have their license 'taken away'.

“I have read someplace that the networks were 97% against me, I get 97% negative, and yet I won and easily,” he said. "They give me only bad publicity, or press, I mean, they're getting a license, I would think maybe their license should be taken away."

He further suggested that these networks were 'an arm of the Democrat party' out to get him, as he continued: "When you have a network, and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that's all they do."

He then suggested that it would be 'up to Brendan Carr', who is the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

"I think Brendan Carr is outstanding, he is a patriot, he loves our country, and he's a tough guy, so we'll have to see," Trump said.

Carr has previously slammed Kimmel, accusing him of 'the sickest conduct possible', and said that networks, like ABC, could 'find ways to change conduct and take action... or there's going to be additional work for the FCC'.

In an interview with Fox News, he said they were going to 'hold these broadcasters accountable to the public interest', adding: "And if broadcasters don't like that simple solution, they can turn their licence in to the FCC."
