A joke by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel about Melania Trump being an 'expectant widow' has sparked a fierce backlash from Donald and Melania Trump, who are demanding ABC fire Kimmel.
The controversy has escalated beyond social media, with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordering an early review of Disney-owned ABC's broadcast licenses—a move widely seen as politically motivated. Legal experts and public figures, including Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, and George Clooney, have criticized the push to cancel Kimmel as an attack on free speech. The FCC insists the license review is unrelated to the Kimmel incident, but many see it as part of a broader effort by Trump and his allies to intimidate critics and control media narratives.
The situation has ignited a national debate over free speech, political influence on media, and the boundaries of satire.

Trump is unserious. The right-wingers say they like dark humour, but if a joke is against them, they get fed up.
