Claim 5: “First lady Melania Trump is not happy about late night host Jimmy Kimmel's recent joke about her. "Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow," Kimmel quipped during a sketch on his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly quoted in two cross-reference sources (Flipboard). However, the Wikipedia results provided for this claim are completely irrelevant (mentioning meme coins, Charlie Kirk, and a film) and do not corroborate the specific joke or the reaction of Melania Trump. Therefore, the confirmation relies solely on the cross-references.
