We are living in a simulation and our creator has one hell of a sense of humor. That\u2019s the only possible explanation for this one.<\/p>\n
On Monday, England\u2019s King Charles and Queen Camilla visited the White House as part of their America-at-250 tour. There, after sharing afternoon tea (boiled Diet Coke for President Trump, probably, as Jimmy Kimmel later quipped), a garden party was thrown in our royal visitors\u2019 honor. Trump gave a speech at the event where he spoke glowingly of his parents Mary McCloud and Fred Trump \u2014 mom came from the U.K. (Scotland, to be specific) at 19 \u2014 and went on to praise their impressive marriage of 63 years.<\/p>\n
More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Turning to Melania Trump, the president then said, \u201cThat\u2019s a record we won\u2019t be able to match, darling. It\u2019s just not gonna work out that way.\u201d For her part, the first lady nearly managed a smirk.<\/p>\n Back to Kimmel\u2019s Tuesday monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!: \u201cWait a minute. Did he just make a joke about his death?\u201d he joked, to raucous studio audience applause. \u201cMy God, you should be fired for that<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel then continued, \u201cOnly 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Donald Trump turns 80 in June; Melania Trump turned 56 on Sunday; they have been married for 21 years. Sixty-three years is definitely not in the cards.<\/p>\n Monday was the same day the Trumps individually called for Kimmel to be fired over a joke he made on TV that was clearly about the happy first couple\u2019s age difference.<\/p>\n Last Thursday night, 48 hours before the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting, Kimmel put on a fake WHCD roast<\/a> on his ABC show. The real dinner bucked with tradition, opting for a mentalist over a comedian \u2014 not that Oz Pearlman got very far into his act before the secret service foiled an attempt on the President\u2019s life \u2014 so Kimmel picked up the skewering duties.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at Melania, so beautiful,\u201d\u00a0Kimmel\u00a0addressed his fake dinner\u2019s fake audience. \u201cMrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.\u201d<\/p>\n The twofold joke also references the perception that Melania Trump does not like her husband. Reference the aforementioned near-smirk.<\/p>\n Two days after the Jimmy Kimmel Live! bit, an attempted shooter tried to get to Trump and his cabinet with violence in mind. Despite the obvious timeline here negating any sort of cause-and-effect, MAGA Republicans called for Kimmel\u2019s head. On Monday, Melania Trump demanded ABC \u201ctake a stand.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC,\u201d Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social platform<\/a> shortly after. (He was not<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Hours later \u2014 the Trump posts were in the morning, the garden party scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET \u2014 Donald Trump made pretty much the same joke about his age, and Melania pretty much reinforced the whole lack-of-feelings thing with one glance.<\/p>\n Watch Tuesday\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue, below:<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
