Donald Trump is demanding that ABC and Disney fire Jimmy Kimmel.

Just hours after his wife, Melania, wrote in X post that ABC must “take a stand” against Kimmel and his “atrocious behavior,” Trump took to Truth Social account to post an even more blunt takedown of Kimmel.

“Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible TV Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking,” Trump said. “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.’”

Trump and his MAGA supporters are outraged over Kimmel’s spoof of the White House Correspondents Dinner, which aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live! a few days before the actual event was held in Washington D.C.
Kimmel parodied hosting the event and jokingly addressed that Melania had the glow of an “expectant widow.” The real White House Correspondents Dinner was then disrupted days later when a shooting occurred. Donald and Melania Trump and administration officials were quickly evacuated from the event as the shooter was tackled by law enforcement on a different floor of the venue.
