Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, are often subjects of jokes by American comedians. This time, Jimmy Kimmel on his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" criticized the former president for his reaction to a series of natural disasters that struck the USA.

As a result of tornadoes, dust storms, and fires, at least 42 people died. During this time, Trump boasted on Truth Social about winning a golf tournament.

I just won the Golf Club Championship, probably my last, at Trump International Golf Club, in Palm Beach County, Florida," he wrote on Sunday afternoon. "Such a great honor! The Awards dinner is tonight, at the Club. I want to thank the wonderful Golf Staff, and all of the many fantastic golfers, that participated in the even [sic]. Such fun! - he wrote.

Jimmy Kimmel expressed his indignation that Trump focused on a personal event rather than the crisis. He reminded viewers that Trump had once criticized Joe Biden for being on vacation during Hurricane Helena. After assuming office, Trump addressed the disasters only two and a half hours after boasting about golf.

We are actively monitoring the severe tornadoes and storms that have impacted many States across the South and Midwest — 36 innocent lives have been lost, and many more devastated. The National Guard has been deployed to Arkansas, and my Administration is ready to assist State and Local Officials, as they help their communities to try and recover from the damage. Please join Melania and me in praying for everyone impacted by these terrible storms! - quoted Trump’s Truth Social post, where he asked for prayers for the victims.

The comedian also referenced speculation about turmoil in the Trumps' marriage, a topic explored by Michael Wolff in his book All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America. According to Wolff, Melania has a strong aversion to her husband, and the actual dynamics of their relationship remain unclear. He further suggested that their marriage might be nearing collapse, as there is widespread uncertainty about Melania’s actual place of residence.
