Jimmy Kimmel mocks up a PSA for Melania Trump's unironic cyberbullying summit
First lady Melania Trump is coming out of hiding to host a cyberbullying summit with social media companies, Jimmy Kimmel said on Wednesday's Kimmel Live. "Apparently the word 'irony' doesn't translate from Slovenian. All she has to do to fight cyberbullying is take a hammer to her husband's thumbs and phone."
Melania Trump "wants to begin a discussion about how the companies have been addressing this issue so far — and then swap clothes with one of the attendees and sneak out as part of the group," Kimmel joked. "But Melania's very serious about this, so much so she just recorded this extremely emotional PSA." See if you can tell when the voiceover shifts from the first lady to Kimmel's Melania Trump impersonator. Peter Weber
