Trump demands Kimmel firing over Melania joke, fueling a TV-politics clash

Kimmel defended it as a light roast; the spat follows a weekend shooting and years of Trump–Kimmel tensions, with FCC and media-bias debates highlighting ongoing battles over free speech and corporate actions in the entertainment-news ecosystem.
