Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and actor Alec Baldwin have never shied away from taking jabs at Donald Trump, but their latest revelations about the former president’s marriage to Melania have sent shockwaves through social media. According to sources and their own commentary, Trump and Melania’s relationship is reportedly under immense strain, and cracks in their carefully curated public image are beginning to show.
Kimmel’s Bombshell: “She Looks Like She’s Trapped”
During a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel didn’t hold back when discussing the rumored tension between the Trumps.
"I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but every time Melania is with Donald, she looks like a hostage who just realized the ransom won’t be paid," Kimmel joked. "Have you seen how often she slaps his hand away? That’s not love—that’s someone desperately trying to escape a bad reality show."
The late-night host then played a montage of moments where Melania appeared distant, disengaged, or outright annoyed by Trump’s public behavior. From the infamous hand slap incident to her icy glares at public events, the footage painted a picture of a strained relationship.
Kimmel continued: "Melania’s probably the only First Lady in history who was actually happier on Inauguration Day when it was finally over."
Alec Baldwin Weighs In: “It’s a Transaction, Not a Marriage”
Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin—who famously impersonated Trump on Saturday Night Live—joined the conversation during a recent interview. When asked about the Trumps, Baldwin didn’t mince words.
"Look, let’s be real. This was never a fairy tale romance," Baldwin stated. "Melania didn’t marry Trump for his charm, and he didn’t marry her for true love. It’s always been a business arrangement. And now that he’s losing power, you can see the cracks forming."
Baldwin also pointed out how Melania has distanced herself from Trump’s ongoing legal troubles and political drama. "She’s nowhere to be found. The moment he left office, she disappeared. That’s not what a supportive wife does. That’s someone who is waiting for the right moment to jump ship."
Melania’s Silence Speaks Volumes
Melania Trump has remained noticeably quiet amid Trump’s multiple legal battles and political controversies. While past First Ladies have been vocal in supporting their spouses, Melania has taken a completely different approach—avoiding public statements and rarely appearing at Trump’s events.
Recent reports suggest she spends most of her time at Mar-a-Lago, focusing on her personal life rather than engaging with Trump’s 2024 campaign. One insider claimed, "Melania is done playing the role of the doting wife. She fulfilled her obligations, and now she’s keeping her distance as much as possible."
Trump’s Reaction: “They’re Just Jealous!”
Unsurprisingly, Trump did not take the jabs from Kimmel and Baldwin lightly. In a furious post on Truth Social, he lashed out at both entertainers, calling them “washed-up losers” and “obsessed with me because they have nothing else going for them.”
