Jimmy Kimmel Live! audiences were left laughing after the show aired a spoof video depicting Donald Trump interrupting Melania Trump’s farewell message.
In the edited clip, which aired during last night’s episode (18 January), the first lady’s goodbye video has been digitally altered to feature the president.
Trump shared the original seven-minute speech on her Twitter page on Monday (18 January), in which she said that serving as the nation’s first lady “has been the greatest honour of my life”.
The 50-year-old went on to implore Americans to “focus on what unites us. To rise above what divides us. To always choose love over hatred, peace over violence, and others before yourself”.
The edited video, however, sees the president interrupting her speech in order to purport debunked claims that the US election was stolen.
“I go from winning by a lot to losing a tight race, it’s corrupt,” he says before the clip cuts out to reveal that the first lady’s Twitter account has been suddenly suspended.
“I knew he’d work his way around that Twitter ban,” joked Kimmel.
The outgoing president was recently barred from the social media platform after he violated Twitter’s “Civic Integrity policy” for posting a video addressing his supporters who had stormed the Capitol Building in a riot that left five dead on 6 January.
Elsewhere on the show, Kimmel referenced the recent lawsuit against MyPillow, whose CEO Mike Kindell called for Trump to impose martial law in the seven states that delivered Joe Biden the presidency.
