Disney isn't commenting on the current Jimmy Kimmel controversy or Trump's call for Kimmel's firing, but actions speak louder than comments, and its actions show support for the comedian: Kimmel is taping tonight's episode right now, and it'll air at 11:35 p.m.

If Kimmel wanted to be really mean he'd point out that Melania violated her visa by doing ------ lesbian soft core.

"You know sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We've all been there, right?"

"Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow," is a brilliant joke.

Only second to, "Stephen Miller is so racist. The reason he went bald is because his hair was black. Stephen Miller puts the 'cist' in white supremacist. He's like if baby Hitler traveled in time to kill us."

Melanoma should start at home.

Following the death of Robert Mueller in March it was Trump who wrote on social media, "Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!"

When Rob Reiner and his wife were killed in December, Trump wrote that it was "reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME."

Guess he didn't put her on the payroll to give him advice.

I understand her sentiment, but saying that Kimmel can say any and all he wants, regardless as how tasteless and classless his comments. Maybe the attempted shooter has been influenced by Kimmel over the past year or two - no-one can say one way or another.

Magical thinking is the only kind of thinking you can still do.

LOL a Trumper claiming someone else is tasteless or classless.

The lack of awareness is stunning.

Can't stand Kimmel, but his writers nailed it with "expectant widow."

JK should invite Der Dotard and his skank of a wife onto his show, where he can discuss the matter live, in front of millions. He would say about seven words before The Don would jump in and talk for the rest of the show. Melania would say nothing ...
