Melania Trump made headlines on Wednesday during the tech summit she's hosting in Washington, D.C., entering the room alongside a humanoid robot — and Jimmy Kimmel had thoughts.

"It was a weird day at the White House today, where our First Lady, Melania Trump, hosted the second day of her global summit, titled 'Fostering the Future Together', which is basically a commercial for AI in education, and she made quite an entrance," says Kimmel, playing footage of Melania and the robot walking towards the cameras side by side. "One of those robots is Melania."

Kimmel goes on to say that things "only got scarier from there", playing footage of Melania announcing that the future of AI is personified.

"Maybe someday we will have a robot president," concludes Kimmel. "Couldn't be worse than what we have right now."
