Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Fox News For Trump Conspiracy Theories, Challenges Starbucks To Spell ‘Melania’ [VIDEO]

But the majority of this clip is spent in reaction to Trump’s recent misspelling on Twitter of the First Lady’s name as “Melanie” instead of “Melania.” This could be an AutoCorrect thing, although when Kimmel tests it out, Twitter does in fact recognize “Melania.”

But that really says more about Starbucks baristas than it does about the president.
