Jimmy Kimmel Falsely Says Trump Wants Him Fired Despite Telling Same Joke #Political
On Tuesday, President Trump joked about his old age during an event with King Charles, which greatly upset ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel because, according to him, that is the same he did on Thursday that led the Trumps to call for his firing on Monday. Of course, they were not the same because Trump didn’t suggest Melania is looking forward to his death.
Kimmel began by introducing a clip of Trump, “Trump was very excited about hosting the king, and a lot of it is because Trump's mom was a great fan of the royal family.”
Jimmy Kimmel doesn't see the difference between his Melania "expectant widow" joke and Trump joking about his age, "Wait a minute. Did he just make a joke about his death? My god.

In the video, Trump was shown declaring, “My wonderful mother, Mary MacLeod… She came to America at 19, met my incredible father. We loved him so much. We all loved him. We loved her. We loved him. Fred and—they were married for 63 years, and excuse me, if you don't mind. That's a record we won't be able to match, darling. I'm sorry. Just not going to work out that way.”
Afterwards, Kimmel reacted, “Wait a minute. Did he just make a joke about his death? My god. He should be fired for that.”
Raising his voice quite a bit, Kimmel continued, “Only Donald Trump would demand I be fired for making a joke about his old age, and then a day later, go out and make a joke about his own old age.”
The two jokes were not the same. Trump’s joke could be summarized as “I’m old.” For Donald and Melania to reach 63 years of marriage, he would have to get to his 121st birthday in 2068. By contrast, Kimmel’s “expectant widow” remark could be summarized as “Melania hates her husband and is looking forward to his death.”
Here is a transcript for the April 28 show:
