Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has mocked First Lady Melania Trump’s farewell message to the nation with a spoof video of President Donald Trump crashing her speech.
The couple’s departure from the White House is imminent with president-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration taking place on Wednesday.
In the spoof clip, Trump interrupts his wife’s goodbye speech to share baseless allegations about the 2020 presidential election.
Melania Trump had been asking Americans “to focus on what unites us”.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live! comedy sketch ends with the @FLOTUS account being suspended on Twitter.
After the video was played, the late-night host joked: “I knew he’d work his way around that Twitter ban.”
The president was banned from the social media platform after a review of his activity following his supporters storming the US Capitol building.
Twitter said it had made the decision because of the “risk of further incitement of violence”.
Social media users reacted to the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip by sharing memes.
