Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Melania Trump during a blistering monologue, mocking her recent complaints that the national backlash over ICE’s activities in Minneapolis has ruined the rollout of her high-profile Amazon documentary. As the First Lady promotes her $40 million "behind-the-scenes" film, critics and comedians alike are slamming the timing as "tone-deaf" amid the intensifying civil unrest. This report breaks down Kimmel's sharpest jabs, the controversy surrounding director Brett Ratner, and why early ticket sales for the documentary are struggling despite heavy White House promotion. We explore the growing divide between the First Lady’s calls for unity and the reality of the demonstrations that have dominated the 2026 news cycle.
