Jimmy Kimmel Joked About Trump’s Death Just Days Before WHCD Shooting– trendingpoliticsnews.com

ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel is facing criticism for joking about President Donald Trump’s impending death just days before a would-be assassin attempted to assassinate him and senior cabinet officials. The latest shooting marked the third serious attempt on Trump’s life in under two years.

On Thursday’s installment of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the titular host held a mock White House Correspondents’ dinner ahead of the actual event, which was set to take place at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday night. Saturday’s event was notable, as it marked the first time Trump had been in attendance across either of his terms in the White House.

Kimmel explained that he was stepping in because President Donald Trump had declined to have a comedian perform, describing the president as “a delicate snowflake with the thinnest fat skin of any human being ever” and “a trembling drama queen who’s scared of comedy.”
