President Trump BLASTS Comedian Jimmy Kimmel After Joking Melania Trump Would Soon Be A “Widow”

President Trump didn’t hold back on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.

On Monday afternoon, Trump called out the host of the Jimmy Kimmel Show after the comedian made a joke claiming Melania Trump would soon be a widow.

The joke was aired on television less than a day before 31-year-old Cole Allen opened fire inside the Washington Hilton Hotel, where the President and First Lady were in attendance for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

In his post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

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

A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives.

He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason. I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence, and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said but, this is something far beyond the pale.

Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Melania Trump has also called out Kimmel:

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.

A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed Kimmel’s comments:
