💨 Abstract

Barack Obama criticized Donald Trump’s administration for allegedly using "government coercion" to pressure ABC into suspending *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* after the host made controversial remarks about right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk. Obama accused the administration of threatening regulatory action against media outlets to silence critics. Trump, however, claimed Kimmel was fired due to poor ratings. Celebrities and unions condemned the suspension, warning it undermined free speech.
