The Kimmel Joke

Reading all these things second hand, but Kimmel arguing the "joke" is about Trump and Melania's age gap is an obvious lie. The joke is an expression of the hidden desire of Kimmel and his fans for Trump to die. Put another way, would the joke be funny if made about Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones? Would it be funny about Beyoncé and Jay Z?  Of course not. Kimmel is not calling for his assassination, but he and his fans are indeed wishing for the result. In this respect, Melania is correct.
