In his joke, Kimmel pretended that he was hosting the dinner. He turned to the imaginary first lady and said, “Of course, our first lady, Melania, is here. So beautiful,” adding, “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow”. Whether his quip was about her husband being a target for madmen, or overweight and primarily living off McDonald’s and candy, or just that Don is 79 years old, the smouldering Slovene did not find it funny.
She took to X, where all political grievances are now hashed out, to say the “monologue about my family isn’t comedy”, that “[Kimmel’s] words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America”, and that “it is time for ABC to take a stand”, asking “how many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behaviour at the expense of our community?”
