So he was saying that Melania hoped Donald Trump died. And then 48 hours later someone tried to make that happen.
Jimmy Kimmel's joke isn't the cause of this incident. But it's certainly fair to take a second look at the joke, the venue he made it (on broadcast television), and the platform he holds now, given the context of the political violence which had already been directed at President Trump.

The DHS leadership team at the time wanted to install a political, hand-selected chief counsel after Secret Service Director Sean Curran's top attorney resigned after an embarrassing road-rage incident, which RealClearPolitics first reported.
Wiles, who directly oversaw the Secret Service and kept Curran in place despite numerous lapses and scandals, resisted efforts to install a hand-selected chief counsel, a former administration official with direct information about it told @RCPolitics.
These sources also contend that Wiles undercut another effort to have a DHS deputy chief of staff offer reform recommendations to the Secret Service.
In fact, when the DHS deputy chief of staff visited the Secret Service to offer them, Wiles had the individual walked out of the building after Curran complained to her, the sources assert.
The security lapses and embarrassing incidents include: missing the stand in a tree at West Palm Beach International airport, allowing Code Pink protesters to harass Trump and several cabinet members at a D.C. restaurant, missing a glock during screening at a Trump golf course in Virginia, two officers getting into a physical fight outside President Obama's residence, an agent celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination on social media, and numerous others.
How many close calls does Trump get before Curran and others at the Secret Service lose their jobs? — a former administration official asked in an interview with @RCPolitics after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
“The guy is going to get killed, and everyone will keep their jobs,” the former official remarked.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied the assertions that Wiles opposed the DHS leadership team's Secret Service reforms.
