Viral backfire: Melania Trump called out as hypocrite after Jimmy Kimmel joke criticism

Published by Sam Flores

What a difference a few hours make… Following calls for his firing from The White House and Melania Trump, US talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel has defended a joke he made, in which he called the First Lady an “expectant widow” just days before the recent shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The host made the joke last Thursday (23 April), during his show Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” he said. On Saturday (25 April), a gunman fired several shots at the Hilton in Washington, before being apprehended. Posting on Truth Social yesterday, the US president said Disney and ABC should immediately sack the comedian – and not for the first time. Kimmel’s show was temporarily suspended by ABC last year following the murder of Charlie Kirk and Trump’s calls for the talkshow host to be fired. Related The First Lady also posted on X that “people like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter …

King teases Trump at state dinner: ‘You’d be speaking French if it wasn’t for us’

The King teased Donald Trump in his state dinner speech, joking that the US president would be “speaking French” without Britain. His Majesty, whom Mr Trump is hosting at the White House, poked fun at Mr Trump’s claim in January that European leaders would be speaking German “and a little Japanese” without American intervention in the Second World War. “You recently commented, Mr President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German,” the King said. “Dare I say that, if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French!” The King’s speech was sprinkled with jokes that spoke to the long history of the “special relationship”. At one point, he compared Mr Trump’s attempts to construct a ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing to Britain burning down the White House in the 19th century. “On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the ‘readjustments’ to the East Wing, Mr President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year,” he said. “I am sorry to say that we …

Trump: Iran has agreed to hand over its uranium

Trump: Iran has agreed to hand over its uranium

Published by Sam Flores

Iran has agreed to hand over its stockpile of enriched uranium, Donald Trump has claimed, saying the US is “close” to a peace deal to end the war. “They’ve agreed to give us back the nuclear dust,” Mr Trump told reporters outside the White House, referring to the estimated 450kg of uranium enriched to 60 per cent. Iran has not responded to Mr Trump’s claims. What happens to the uranium stockpile has been the central sticking point in negotiations since talks collapsed in Islamabad last week. Tehran offered to halt any further enrichment for five years, while the US insisted on a 20-year freeze. Iranian scientists had enriched uranium to near weapons-grade before the war. “We’re going to see what happens. But I think we’re very close to making a deal with Iran,” Mr Trump said, adding that another round of talks could happen as soon as this weekend. He said that if an agreement was reached in Islamabad, he might travel to Pakistan for the signing. Tehran had offered to halt any further enrichment …
