CHEQUERS, England Sept 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President

Donald Trump on Thursday praised ABC's decision to pull

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" off the air, saying the late-night

television host had said "a horrible thing" about assassinated

political activist Charlie Kirk and also had bad ratings.

"Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad

ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you

know, you can call that free speech or not. He was fired for

lack of talent," Trump said during a news conference with UK

Prime Minister Keir Starmer in England.
