Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took aim at Melania Trump's recent business venture during his Monday night monologue.

According to The Daily Beast, Kimmel focused on the former first lady's new jewelry offering, a $600 "Vote Freedom" necklace. The comedian drew parallels between this product and what he perceives as the Trump family's broader merchandising strategy.

Kimmel described the necklace as featuring "Lady Liberty on the front and nothing behind it, just like Melania herself."

This comment set the tone for a segment that touched on various aspects of Melania Trump's public life and her relationship with her husband, former President Donald Trump.

Melania's Memoir And Public Appearances

The late-night host also discussed Melania Trump's upcoming memoir, titled "Melania." Kimmel highlighted a particular excerpt from the book, which he presented in a humorous light.

The passage, read aloud during the show, detailed an incident from the night of the Trumps' 16th wedding anniversary.

Kimmel played an audio clip from the memoir where Melania recounts:

The loud knocking on the door sent a jolt through my body. The Secret Service agent told me I needed to move.

This excerpt, which actually describes Melania's experience during a George Floyd protest in 2020, was humorously miscontextualized by Kimmel as a tale of marital discord.

The host also pointed out that Melania has not been seen publicly with her husband for several weeks, adding another layer to his commentary on their relationship.

Donald Trump's Recent Statements

Kimmel's monologue then shifted focus to former President Donald Trump's recent attempts to appeal to female voters.

The host referenced Trump's posts on Truth Social, where he promised that under his presidency, women's lives would be "HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL, AND GREAT AGAIN!"

In response to these statements, Kimmel quipped, "If there's anyone who knows how to make women feel happy and hopeful, why, it's this gentleman right here." The comedian's sarcastic tone underscored his skepticism about Trump's claims.

Other Political Figures Mentioned

While the majority of Kimmel's monologue centered on the Trumps, he briefly touched on another political figure. The host mentioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and recent allegations about his personal life.

Kimmel referenced reports of Kennedy's alleged affair with New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi. The comedian joked about the nature of their relationship, suggesting it was "not physical" and that Nuzzi was "mostly attracted to the worm in his brain."

Kimmel's Comedic Approach To Politics

Throughout the segment, Kimmel maintained his characteristic blend of political commentary and humor. His jokes often walked the line between critique and satire, targeting various aspects of public figures' lives and actions.

The host's comments on Melania Trump's merchandise, for instance, were part of a broader critique of what he sees as the commercialization of political influence.

Similarly, his remarks about the Trumps' relationship and Donald Trump's appeals to female voters were framed as humorous observations but carried underlying political commentary.

Kimmel's joke about Melania praying for her husband to "drive his golf cart into a lagoon" was a pointed reference to perceived tensions in their marriage.

Conclusion

Jimmy Kimmel's Monday night monologue centered on Melania Trump's new $600 "Vote Freedom" necklace, her upcoming memoir, and her husband's recent statements about women. The host used humor to comment on the Trumps' public personas and relationship dynamics. Kimmel's segment also briefly touched on other political figures, maintaining his show's focus on current events through a comedic lens.
