'Sorry Darling, It's Not Going To Work Out...': Trump Tells Wife Melania About Their Marriage On Live TV | VIDEO
US President Donald Trump cracked a highly unappetizing joke about his marriage with Melania Trump on live TV. This comes after he criticised Jimmy Kimmel for cracking the 'widow' joke, that apparently targeted the age gap between Melania and Trump.
Washington DC: US President Donald Trump cracked a highly unappetizing joke about his marriage with Melania Trump on live TV. Notably, the joke was made while he was in the middle of a speech meant to welcome UK's King Charles to the White House on Tuesday.
A video of the incident showed Trump addressing a crowd, including King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, in a televised speech when he started talking about his mother Mary Anne Trump, who was born in Scotland.
"She came to America at 19, met my incredible father, we loved him so much, we all loved him, we loved her, we loved him: Fred. And, they were married for 63 years," Trump said.
Trump's wife, First Lady Melania Trump, was sitting behind him when he was making the speech.
Appreciating the marriage of his parents, Fred and Mary Anne Trump, Trump turned back to Melania and told her, “And, uh, excuse me, if you don't mind, that's a record we won't be able to match, darling...I'm sorry, it's just not going to work out that way. We'll do well, but we're not going to do that well.”
King Charles III and Melania were seen tightly smiling at the President's joke.
Melania, who is the third wife of Donald Trump, is 56 years old. Meanwhile, Trump is 79 years old.
Reacting to the video of the incident, a netizen said, "Watch the king drop his head in embarrassment. Probably thinking 'get me the out of here.'" Another said, “The King is cringing in his seat, why in God's name did the British Government arrange this visit.”
Jimmy Kimmel's 'Widow' Joke
Notably, Trump's joke addressing the age gap between Melania and him comes just days after TV host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel cracked the 'widow' joke, targeting the couple's age difference.
During a skit at Jimmy Kimmel Live show, Kimmel joked, “Our first lady is here. Mrs. Trump…you have a glow like an expectant widow.” His joke was met with outrage from both Melania and Donald Trump. The First Lady called the joke a “hateful and violent rhetoric”.
In a post on X, she wrote, “His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate…Enough is enough." She also called
Trump also lambasted Kimmel, saying that he was "in no way funny".
