Jimmy Kimmel to Melania Trump
Talk to Your Hubby About Hateful Rhetoric
… Before Coming for Me!!!

Jimmy Kimmel is firing back at President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after they called on him to be fired over a controversial joke.
The late night host clapped back Monday night, opening his monologue with a jab … joking sometimes you wake up and “the First Lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired” … adding, yeah, we’ve all been there.
He made it crystal clear he wasn’t calling for violence, insisting the bit was just a “pretend roast” … clearly a dig at the couple’s age gap, not anything darker. Kimmel doubled down that it was a “very light roast joke” about Trump nearing 80 and Melania being significantly younger.
While acknowledging Melania had a “stressful experience over the weekend” following the shooting, Kimmel still turned the tables saying he agrees violent rhetoric should be toned down but suggested she might want to “have a conversation” with her husband about it first.
As you know … on Monday Donald and Melania joined Karoline Leavitt in piling on the late night host … demanding Kimmel be fired after his controversial “expectant widow” joke about FLOTUS.
POTUS slammed Kimmel for being “in no way funny” and took a jab at his “terrible Television Ratings” before blasting the comic for airing what he described as a “fake video” of Melania and Barron during his monologue.
It’s far from the first time Trump has called for Kimmel to lose his job … but now we’ve got a new chapter in this longstanding beef.
