President Trump‘s annual physical will be taking place today, April 11, to cap off “the worst week of his presidency so far,” as Live host Jimmy Kimmel put it. What could possibly make this week better for Americans? According to Kimmel, turning Trump’s physical into a “public weigh-in” would certainly help.
Trump has been teasing the physical all week and maintaining that he’s “never felt better,” despite the state of the economy after the steep tariffs he attempted to impose on goods from other countries.
“Tomorrow the president is scheduled to get his annual physical,” Kimmel said on Thursday night’s (April 10) Live. “They should do that in front of the cameras, too. They should have a public weigh-in. How much fun would that be?”
He continued, “March him on a scale in a jock strap like he’s about to fight Jake Paul or something.”
Kimmel then brutally roasted the president as he speculated how Trump will announce the results of his physical.
“A man who looks like someone poured waffle batter into a hefty bag is in the best physical condition of any president in our lifetimes,” Kimmel quipped.
Trump announced the physical earlier this week in a social media post where he shared he’s “never felt better.”
“The good news is the president wants us to know he’s doing just fine,” Kimmel said in response. “It’s funny because the rest of us have never felt worse.”
The late night host predicted Trump would describe his results as “astonishing” and “extraordinary.”
“Either way, I bet it’s going to be an excellent report,” Kimmel joked. “Let me guess, his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary, his blood pressure is astonishing, and he is by far the healthiest president to single-handedly tank the economy overnight.”
He added, “After all he’s put us through, it will be nice to know on Friday someone else will be squeezing his balls for a change.”
