Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, often become the subjects of jokes by American comedians. This time, Jimmy Kimmel, on his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", criticized the former president for reacting to a series of natural disasters that hit the USA.
As a result of tornadoes, dust storms, and fires, at least 42 people died. During this time, Trump boasted about winning a golf tournament on Truth Social.
I just won the Golf Club Championship, probably my last, at Trump International Golf Club, in Palm Beach County, Florida," he wrote on Sunday afternoon. "Such a great honor! The Awards dinner is tonight, at the Club. I want to thank the wonderful Golf Staff, and all of the many fantastic golfers, that participated in the even [sic]. Such fun! - he wrote.
Jimmy Kimmel mocked Donald Trump on his show
Jimmy Kimmel did not hide his indignation that Trump focused on a private event instead of the crisis. He reminded viewers that Trump once criticized Joe Biden for being on vacation during Hurricane Helena. Meanwhile, after taking over his administration, he focused on the disasters only two and a half hours after boasting about golf.
We are actively monitoring the severe tornadoes and storms that have impacted many States across the South and Midwest — 36 innocent lives have been lost, and many more devastated. The National Guard has been deployed to Arkansas, and my Administration is ready to assist State and Local Officials, as they help their communities to try and recover from the damage. Please join Melania and me in praying for everyone impacted by these terrible storms! - quoted Trump’s post from Truth Social, where he asked for prayers for the victims.
The comedian also mentioned speculation about troubles in the Trumps' marriage, a topic covered by Michael Wolff in his book All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America. According to Wolff, Melania strongly dislikes her husband, and the dynamics of their marriage remain unclear. He further suggested that their relationship might be falling apart, noting that no one knows where Melania actually resides.
