Jimmy Kimmel trolled Donald Trump after his cognitive test, which he bragged about. He joked, “We have a whole weekend worth of dementia to catch on.” The Late Night show host and longtime Trump critic talked about Trump’s failed MAGA concert since several artists declined to be a part of it.
The concert is scheduled from June 25 to July 10, and the Freedom 250 group shared the artist lineup for the show. In no time, several artists, including Martina McBride, Young MC, The Commodores, and Morris Day & The Time, posted on social media explaining their reasons not to perform. Kimmel said, “The listed performers include pop duo Milli Vanilli (one of whom is dead), pop duo C+C Music Factory (another of whom is dead).”
Kimmel joked, “It was as if they’d been booked on a hantavirus cruise.” Then he noted, “But don’t worry. Bret Michaels, Flo Rida, Vanilla Ice, and the guy from the Cracker Barrel logo tootin’ on the jug are in it, so far. We’ll check back on that tomorrow to see if they’re still in.”

Apart from several artists canceling on Trump’s Great American State Fair, a federal judge has asked for the removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center. The judge pointed out that it can only be named after John F Kennedy since it’s a memorial to honor the former president. Trump later expressed his disappointment with the news in one of his Truth Social posts. Last weekend, Trump posted 60 times on Truth Social in just 14 hours.
Kimmel called out his post and said, “This really got under his pumpkin-colored skin. George Washington’s inauguration speech was shorter than these! But don’t worry, Trump’s name will still be emblazoned on the still unreleased Trump-Epstein files for all time.” Trump claimed in a post about dropping the renovations from the center.
ANYONE WHO HAS TO TAKE 4 COGNITIVE EXAMS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS CAN'T POSSIBLY BE "EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT". Apparently even the doctors he sees … 3 ANNUAL physicals in 18 months … are REALLY REALLY WORRIED about his declining mental state but are afraid to put that in writing. https://t.co/7WwUQ8rNRC

Kimmel then joked about Trump’s third annual checkup and how White House took three days to release it, “One day to compile the findings and another two for the redactions.” when Trump bragged about scoring 30 out of 30 on the test while Kimmel trolled him, “No president in the history of this country has ever had to have his brain examined this many times in a row.”
He compared it to passing a breathalyzer test and then bragging about it. Another comedian who fired at Trump was Seth Meyers, who asked people to “cut him some slack. He’s been under a lot of stress lately after a barrage of legal and political setbacks.” Meyers took a dig at Trump over Milli Vanilli’s public rejection and then pointed out the all-time low approval ratings of the president.
