深夜脱口秀主持人吉米·坎摩尔为其在白宫记者协会晚宴枪击事件发生前几天，将梅拉尼娅·特朗普称为“准寡妇”的玩笑进行辩护。

The first lady described a Kimmel sketch which aired last Thursday as "hateful and violent", and the White House urged his network, ABC, to fire the comedian.

第一夫人称上周四播出的坎摩尔小品“充满仇恨且暴力”，白宫则要求其所属电视台ABC解雇这位喜剧演员。

Three days later, a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents' dinner in Washington DC, which Donald Trump attended with Melania. Authorities have said the gunman's attack may have targeted members of the Trump administration.

三天后，一名枪手在华盛顿特区举行的白宫记者协会晚宴上开枪，唐纳德·特朗普和梅拉尼娅出席了该晚宴。当局表示枪手的袭击目标可能是特朗普政府成员。

Kimmel said the original joke was a "light roast" about the 23-year age difference between the president and his wife. President Trump also said he appreciated that so many people were "incensed by Kimmel's" remarks, claiming they were a "call to violence", in a post on Truth Social on Monday afternoon.

坎摩尔表示，最初的玩笑是对总统与其妻子23岁年龄差的“温和调侃”。特朗普总统周一下午在真实社交上发文称，他很感激有这么多人对坎摩尔的言论“感到愤怒”，并声称这些言论是“煽动暴力”。
