Kimmel on Trump remark: ‘Did he just make a joke about his death?’

On Tuesday, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump's demand for his firing, highlighting Trump's hypocrisy after the President made a similar joke about his own age and marriage during a state visit.
Trump and First Lady Melania Trump demanded ABC fire Kimmel after his April 23 mock White House Correspondents' Dinner monologue, in which he joked the First Lady had a 'glow like an expectant widow.'
Following a shooting at the Saturday White House Correspondents' Dinner, critics resurfaced the joke as a 'call to violence,' though authorities deemed the incident an assassination attempt targeting the President.
Defending his monologue on Monday, Kimmel explained the quip referred to the age difference between the 79-year-old President and 56-year-old First Lady, denying any intent to incite violence.
This exchange marks the latest escalation in a long-running feud, as the Federal Communications Commission investigates Disney and ABC for potential violations of federal communications rules.
