28.04.2026 ⇢ The Day the Widow Joke War Escalated
⌨
On April 28, the dominant story remained the fallout from the WHCD shooting, but the focus shifted to the escalating feud between the Trumps and Jimmy Kimmel. In the morning, Trump and Melania called for ABC to fire Kimmel over his 'expectant widow' joke. Kimmel doubled down on his show, repeating the joke and attacking Melania. By afternoon, the feud dominated coverage, with multiple outlets reporting on the back-and-forth. Meanwhile, Iran tensions continued: Trump mulled Tehran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but delay nuclear talks, with oil prices rising. King Charles' state visit provided a secondary storyline, culminating in his address to Congress and a state dinner, where he condemned the assassination attempt.
