Donald Trump demands ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel over Melania joke

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Former US President Donald Trump has called on ABC to fire late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel after he made a joke about Melania Trump, the wife of former President Joe Biden.

According to reports, Kimmel had joked that Melania Trump was an “expectant widow” during his show. Melania Trump responded by calling for ABC to take action against Kimmel, stating that his comments were “hateful and violent rhetoric”.

Trump has since taken to social media to express his support for Kimmel’s firing, saying he should be “immediately fired” from his job.

The incident occurred at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where Kimmel was scheduled to perform. Melania Trump attended the event, reportedly feeling uncomfortable with Kimmel’s joke.

ABC has not yet commented on whether they will take action against Kimmel or fire him from his show.

In a statement, ABC said that it would “review its policies and procedures” regarding comedy content on its shows.

The incident highlights the ongoing tension between Trump and Kimmel, who have been critical of each other in recent years.
