Key Facts
During a parody segment ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Jimmy Kimmel made the crack about the first lady moments after joking about President Trump’s rumored health problems.
Kimmel continued the bit by referencing her April 26 birthday, saying she would celebrate at home “looking out a window and whispering, ‘What have I done?’” and making fun of the Rotten Tomatoes score of her documentary.
Kimmel also took another jab, saying, “Oh, by the way, Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania,” calling it an impression of Jeffery Epstein introducing the two.
