Donald Trump is demanding ABC and Disney fire Jimmy Kimmel. Just hours after his wife, Melania, wrote in an X post that ABC must “take a stand” against Kimmel and his “atrocious behavior,” Trump took to his Truth Social account to post an even more blunt takedown of Kimmel.

“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,” Trump said. “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.'”
