Jimmy Kimmel had another chance to win President Donald Trump’s relationship with his wife, Melania Trump, with images of their arrival in California last week to see the damage caused by a series of forest fires.
The Trumps were met at the Airport Tarmac by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who has often attacked the president.
But Kimmel had a different theory.
“Now I happen to believe that Trump loves Gavin Newsom,” said Kimmel. “I think he is looking at Gavin Newsom, he is like” damn, Don Jr., why can’t you … “”
Kimmel showed the two who were talking and tried to translate what they said. But it is what happened after that that Kimmel’s attention attracted: while the president turned around to walk away, Newsom and the First Lady shake hands and exchanged a kiss on the cheek.
“Hello, Melania!” Said Kimmel. “The happiest she has been for a long time.”
Newsom and Trump then spoke with reporters.
“The governor did his best to make nice, he told the president for reporters, he said,” You were there for us during Covid and we won’t forget it, “said Kimmel.” That’s as if you are telling Michael Myers that He was there for us Halloween and we won’t forget it. ”
