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
00:32to First Lady Melania Trump and said this. That's a record we won't be able to match, darling. I'm sorry.
00:39Just not going to work out that way. We'll do well, but we're not going to do that well. For
00:43context,
00:44Donald Trump turns 80 in June and Melania Trump turned 56 on Sunday. They've been married for 21
00:50years so far. During Kimmel's monologue on Tuesday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, this was his
00:55response to Trump's joke. This all comes after the Trumps individually called for Kimmel to be fired
01:13over a joke he made on TV about the first couple's age difference, saying Melania Trump had, quote,
01:18a glow like an expectant widow. Jimmy Kimmel made the joke two days before there was an attempted
01:22shooting at Saturday's White House Correspondents Dinner. But following the events of the dinner,
01:27Trump posted a truth social on Monday. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.
01:33And Melania Trump demanded ABC, quote, take a stand. For more on this story, go to THR.com.
