Jimmy Kimmel has once again taken a swipe at Donald Trump during his recent monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The late-night host and comedian mocked Trump over the upcoming Freedom 250 celebration concert with a joke about Melania Trump.
Jimmy Kimmel mocks Donald Trump with Melania joke
Jimmy Kimmel tore into Donald Trump with a new jab shortly after the president posted on Truth Social, fuming over artists who have dropped out of the upcoming Freedom 250 concert.
In a lengthy rant on May 30, Trump penned, “I don’t want so-called ‘Artists’ that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN.”
Mocking the post, Kimmel sarcastically quipped, “That’s right. He only wants to be surrounded by happy people.” He said, “For instance, this photograph of his wife pictured at their evening grimace.” The comedian displayed a photo of the president and first lady Melania Trump from 2017. The snapshot captures Melania looking down without a smile and a stern expression on her face.
The photograph was taken at the Inaugural Lunch on Capitol Hill, and had sparked a decade of speculations regarding the reason for their stern disposition. Kimmel’s latest jab comes shortly after Trump expressed fury over multiple artists refusing to perform at Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair.
“By Saturday, almost every one of the performers either said they never agreed to be part of it in the first place or dropped out of it. Like they dropped out,” Kimmel told the audience. He added, “It was as if they’d been booked on a hantavirus cruise.”
The Primetime Emmy-winning television host further quipped, “We’re only 16 months into his second term now. Somehow, this man is at war with Iran and Milli Vanilli.”
