Following President Trump’s previous call for someone to be fired, First Lady Melania Trump is now requesting action from ABC. She recently released a statement urging the network to address a situation.

On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host did an impression of Donald Trump before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

On April 27th, Melania Trump responded to Jimmy Kimmel, stating that his harsh and aggressive language aims to create division in the United States. She argued that his comments about her family weren’t funny, but instead harmful and contribute to the growing negativity in American politics.

The First Lady criticized Jimmy Kimmel, stating he shouldn’t be allowed to use his show to promote negativity. She called him a coward who relies on ABC to shield him from accountability.

He basically declared it a win for America, crowing about the show being “cancelled” and congratulating ABC for what he saw as a courageous move. He even went on to say Kimmel has ‘zero talent’ and lower ratings than Colbert – quite the takedown! The funny thing is, the suspension had absolutely nothing to do with ratings or Kimmel’s performance; it was an entirely separate issue. It just felt like a perfect opportunity for a little public gloating, honestly.

After the decision was made, many people protested by canceling their Disney+ subscriptions and publicly criticizing ABC. Other late-night show hosts and celebrities also voiced their support. Five days later,

A few weeks after Jimmy Kimmel Live! came back on the air, the host addressed Donald Trump’s typical response whenever Jeffrey Epstein’s name is mentioned during his opening monologue.

It’s puzzling why ABC continues to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel’s show, especially considering his low viewership and lack of demonstrable skill. TV distributors also seem to tolerate it, despite the consistently one-sided reporting. Many believe the show should be cancelled.
