00:00Only Donald Trump would demand I be fired for making a joke about his old age and then a day
00:05later go out and make a joke about his own old age. Jimmy Kimmel is calling out President Donald
00:11Trump for joking about his own death. On Monday, England's King Charles and Queen Camilla visited
00:16the White House as part of the America at 250 tour. When the president gave a speech at the
00:21Garden Party throne in the royal's honor, he spoke glowingly of his parents, Fred Trump and Mary
00:26McLeod, as his mother is from the UK. He went on to praise their marriage of 63 years. He then
00:32turned to First Lady Melania Trump and said this. That's a record we won't be able to match, darling.
00:38I'm sorry. Just not going to work out that way. We'll do well, but we're not going to do that
00:42well.
00:43For context, Donald Trump turns 80 in June and Melania Trump turned 56 on Sunday.
00:48They've been married for 21 years so far. During Kimmel's monologue on Tuesday's episode of Jimmy
00:53Kimmel live on ABC, this was his response to Trump's joke. Wait a minute. Did he just make
01:00a joke about his death? My God. We should be fired for that. This all comes after the Trumps
01:11individually called for Kimmel to be fired over a joke he made on TV about the first couple's age
01:16difference, saying Melania Trump had, quote, a glow like an expectant widow. Jimmy Kimmel made the joke
01:21two days before there was an attempted shooting at Saturday's White House Correspondents Dinner,
01:25but following the events of the dinner, Trump posted a truth social on Monday. Jimmy Kimmel
01:30should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. And Melania Trump demanded ABC, quote,
01:35take a stand. For more on this story, go to THR.com. This is The Hollywood Reporter News.
