President Donald Trump called on ABC and its parent company, Disney, to dismiss late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after the comedian made a controversial comment about Melania Trump during a recent monologue ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump sharply criticized the host, writing, “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

The president also took issue with content aired on Kimmel’s show, adding, “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. 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.”

The controversy stems from a segment on Thursday night, when Kimmel offered a satirical take on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and delivered remarks about the first lady, saying: “Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

Earlier Monday, Melania Trump also issued a strong response, condemning Kimmel’s comments and calling for action by the network. She described him as a “coward” who “hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.”

She continued her criticism in a post on X, writing, “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community?”
