Trumps call for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel — again — after morbid joke about First Lady

Donald and Melania Trump both called for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel on Monday (April 27, 2026) after a joke last week in which the late-night comic described the first lady as having “the glow of an expectant widow.”

The remark about the President’s wife was part of a routine on Thursday’s (April 23, 2026) “Jimmy Kimmel Live” where the host pretended to deliver a comedy routine at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
