Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel delivered a sharp monologue Monday night criticizing Melania Trump’s appearance at the United Nations Security Council, contrasting the highly polished event with the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Iran. Kimmel noted that it was an unusual moment in history, pointing out that a First Lady had presided over a Security Council meeting shortly after the start of a major international crisis.
Much of Kimmel’s commentary focused on Melania Trump’s speaking slips during the session. He joked about her mispronouncing the word “significant,” suggesting it sounded like the name of a perfume. He also played clips of her struggling with the word “democratizing,” humorously sympathizing with translators who had to interpret the remarks. Another moment he highlighted was when she mistakenly referred to the meeting as the “ten thousand, one hundred and thirteen” session rather than the 13th.
Kimmel also poked fun at her designer outfit, including a Dior jacket and Louboutin heels. Despite the criticism, Trump used the meeting to call for peace and emphasize protecting children worldwide.
