Jimmy Kimmel has responded to the mixed reactions that have arisen following his most recent “roast” of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania.
The talkshow host has a long history of back-and-forth with the Trumps, so it was no surprise that he took the opportunity to make a joke at Melania’s expense during last week’s filming of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday.
“Our First Lady, Melania, is here,” Kimmel said at the time. “Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”
The comedian’s comments, of course, came just days before the alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
That incident, which played out inside the ballroom of the Washington Hilton hotel on Saturday, April 25, saw a lone gunman – later identified as 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen – attempt to breach a security checkpoint at the venue while carrying several weapons, including a shotgun, handgun, and knives.
