President Donald Trump called for ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel to be fired on Monday for joking that Melania Trump had “a glow like an expectant widow” days before Saturday’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
Trump alleged Kimmel was making a “despicable call to violence” and called for him to “be immediately fired” in a post on Truth Social.
Kimmel did not mention the possibility that Trump could be assassinated, but made several references to the 79-year-old president’s age and health throughout the monologue, in which he parodied the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner and said Melania Trump was there and had “a glow like an expectant widow.”
