As a COMEDIAN let me say this about that…
Jimmy Kimmel out here doing comedy math after the fact.
“Oh no, you see… the joke was about the age difference.”
Was it?
That’s fascinating… because not ONE WORD about age showed up in the setup.
That’s like me punching you in the face and then explaining,
“No, no… that was actually about climate change.”
Well you might say that now… but that ain’t what just happened.
Comedy has rules. Not a lot… but the ones we got matter.
Setup… THEN punchline.
You don’t get to do the punchline first and then hold a press conference explaining what the joke meant.
That’s not stand-up… that’s damage control.
If the joke was about Trump being 80 and Melania being 50 you gotta SAY THAT. You gotta walk us down that road.
You don’t just teleport to the punchline and then act like the audience missed the turn.
That ain’t a joke… that’s a BS excuse.
And comedians know this.
That’s Comedy 101.
That’s Day One, open mic, two-drink minimum, “please clap” level stuff.
So no… it wasn’t about age.
Because if it was, the audience would’ve HEARD IT.
What it really was…
was a disgustingly bad joke!

This JIMMY KIMMEL is a SICK DEMENTED PERSON WHO WANTS OUR PRESIDENT DEAD!
How the former family friendly ‘entertainment’ company @DisneyStudios continues to pay for this cretinous scumbag is as inexplicable as it is disgraceful.

Jimmy Kimmel didn’t apologize. He doubled down and fired off more disgusting jokes.

KIMMEL DEFENDS THE JOKE: "I said, 'our first lady Melania's here, look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. Which, obviously, was a joke about their age difference- and the look of joy we see on her face every time they're together. It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination."
