‘That Was Just Melania’: Jimmy Kimmel Trolls Trump With Fleeting Observation

Jimmy Kimmel said people often threaten to move to Canada after an election when they don’t like the results ― and it happened again after President-elect Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris this week.
“Google searches for moving to Canada were up by 5,000%,” he said on Thursday night. “And that was just Melania.”

Kimmel then offered some practical advice for people wanting to move because of the election results.

“If you’re a Democrat and you’re that upset about the election, don’t move to Canada,” he advised. “Move to Florida, move to Pennsylvania, where they need your votes. Or, another idea: You could stay right where you are and calm down.”
