Former President Donald Trump has criticized Jimmy Kimmel for a joke he made about Melania Trump, likening her to an “expectant widow.” Kimmel’s comment came during an episode of his show last week, just before a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
In response, Trump took to Truth Social, calling for Kimmel to be fired over the remarks, escalating their ongoing feud. Trump referenced a past incident where Kimmel was suspended by ABC for a controversial monologue. He accused Kimmel of showing a fake video of Melania and their son, Barron, insinuating they were present in his studio.
The suspected gunman in the White House incident has been identified as Cole Tomas Allen from California, who allegedly stormed the Washington Hilton armed with weapons. Melania Trump also condemned Kimmel’s rhetoric, urging ABC to address the divisive nature of his show and calling for accountability.
The situation has sparked a heated debate, with Trump demanding Kimmel’s dismissal and Melania emphasizing the need for responsible media conduct. The clash between the former president and the late-night host continues to unfold amid growing tensions.
