If a joke falls in the forest, does it make a sound?
Apparently the answer is a resounding yes. Jimmy Kimmel, the current king of late night comedy controversy, is at odds with President Donald Trump once again, who is (once again) calling for the ABC host to be fired.
This is all because on an April 23 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on ABC, the host staged a faux White House Correspondents Association dinner, and made a joke about first lady Melania Trump. Kimmel, pretending to be in a room with the who's-who of Washington, D.C., and acting as if he saw the first lady in person, said, "Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow."
In the immediate aftermath of the joke, no one from the Trump administration commented on what Kimmel himself has said was a joke about the age difference between the first couple (President Trump is 79, turning 80 in June, and Melania Trump is 56).
However after the real Correspondents Dinner erupted in violence on April 26, both Trumps are taking deep offense at Kimmel's remarks, with the first lady writing on X, "How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community."
