Trump, Melania Unload on Jimmy Kimmel After Distasteful ‘Widow’ Remark
Trump: “I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump went off on Jimmy Kimmel over his mock White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner sketch two days before the actual dinner.
On Thursday, during his sketch, Kimmel acted like the Master of Ceremonies at the WHCA Dinner, with videos of the Trumps and other officials from the 2024 Republican National Conference.
At one point, Kimmel said, “Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”
I have the video starting right when Kimmel made his remark:
Yeah. Then what happened?
Federal prosecutors say that Cole Allen, 31, stormed a security checkpoint with numerous weapons at the Washington Hilton where Trump, Melania, and the Cabinet sat at the head table of the WHCA Dinner. He opened fire, hitting a Secret Service agent, before authorities took him into custody.
We learned today that Cole faces three charges, including an attempt to assassinate the president.
The president and Melania are not thrilled. When Melania says something then you know she’s fuming.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking. He showed a fake video of the First Lady, Melania, and our son, Barron, like they were actually sitting in his studio, listening to him speak, which they weren’t, and never would be. He then stated, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives. He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason. I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

The scary part is millions find him brilliant and entertaining. What evokes disgust and cringe in a normal person is enthused over by almost half the country.
It’s legitimate humor. A combination of two ideas (loving wife, gold digger) that are opposite.
The correct complaint would be that it mischaracterizes Melania, not that it’s not humor.
Similarly long ago speculating that Barron would be the nation’s first home-school shooter.
Your an idiot
Are you off your meds, or do you need a referral to see a psychiatrist?
This from a ossified Ayn Rand throwback listening to reruns of Morning Zoo personality Don Imus prat on and on about his prostate cancer.
Comedy gold!
I’m sure the perverted mouse has a place for you in his organization.
“Humor” is defined as:
Please tell me……in fact, tell us all…..what is “laughable” about the attempted assassination of the sitting president? Tell us all what is “laughter inducing” saying a woman has “the glow of a widow?”
Yeah….that’s some real “humor” there.
Next you’ll be trying to tell people that saying “John F. Kennedy had the foresight to make sure his brains didn’t clash with Jackie Kennedy’s pink dress” is “humor.”
There is nothing funny about this situation. If someone had made the same statement about President Biden or President Obama, we would still be up in arms about it. This is not political.
Your defense of Kimmel is warped at best, despicable at worst, and more likely a combination of the two.
Please turn in your “humanity card.”
You certainly aren’t using it.
Kimmel thinks he’s untouchable because Disney caved to him before.
All Trump had to do was run the (public) email address for ABC below his image and Kimmel would have been gone in two hours. Republicans really don’t grok “activism.”
Don’t watch Netflix’s “Funny AF” by Kevin Hart
It had a bunch of comedians vying for a Netflix show if they win
Kevin Hart and Chelsey Chandler encourage the group to be very anti government and several make extremely disturbing comments, “jokes” about the President, Pete , and Erika Kirk
Extremely
Distasteful, I sent an email and
Called them
Is this Chelsea Handler, perhaps?
The brain surgeon who confessed that she was 40 years old before she realized that the sun and the moon were not the same physical object?
I find the intellectually dim Kevin Hart to be unintelligible. All I hear is pops and whistles.
Kimmel’s last great work was the Man Show, where he was carried by Adam Carolla.
Confirmed: Jimmy Kimmel is a garbage human being.
That is all.
A classes asshat.
Another mentally ill democrat.
Jimmy Kimmel can’t accept the reality that his show lost its audience and is losing the network > $40 million/year according to the network who owns it. His tiny cabal of felching fans insists the network is lying, however I don’t think their affiliates would turn off Kimmel’s show if it were not causing them to lose viewership when they are losing advertising income too. Too bad Jimmy…even the stupid bouncing breasts on a trampoline can’t save you now.
Anyone who frequents or buys a Disney owned product or service is complicit. Disney is a major player in the destruction of the US. Boycott them.
Netflix is as bad as Disney. I’ve never subscribed to their service and I suspect I never will.
