Jimmy Kimmel trolls Melania Trump's 'approved words' with perfume ad spoof, fans want raise for writers
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: When it comes to the realm of political satire, the Trump family is a gift that keeps on giving.
Jimmy Kimmel, the renowned television host and comedian, recently took a hilarious dig at Melania Trump, the former first lady, over alleged request for "approved words" during her tenure at the White House.
Melania's 'approved words' of limited vocabulary
It was no secret that Melania Trump delayed her relocation to the White House after Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, raising eyebrows and prompting speculation.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former friend and advisor, recently shed light on the reasons behind Melania's prolonged absence.
However, Kimmel had his own take on why Melania was late in moving to the White House. “She refused to move in until they installed a new toilet,” Kimmel explained.
He continued, “Apparently, she wanted to make sure the toilet was large enough to flush herself down.”
