Jimmy Kimmel Nails The ‘Very Scary’ Part Of Trump’s Reported Mental Slide

Jimmy Kimmel found some alarming details in a new report that Donald Trump’s “big beautiful brain” is slipping.

Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh said he interviewed Trump six times for his new book, but the former president didn’t remember him. Trump repeated himself throughout the interviews and claimed that comedy legend Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016.

Rivers died in 2014.

“So he’s right. Dead people are voting!” Kimmel said, referring to one of Trump’s debunked claims of election fraud. “Maybe she voted with her Ouija board.”

Setoodeh said he found Trump “meandering and confusing” and described a moment when he seemed to think he still had presidential powers. He excused himself from an interview by saying he had to deal with “Afghanistan.”

“That’s gotta be his codeword for the toilet, right? I gotta make the Afghanistan,” Kimmel cracked, then offered a worrying observation.

“It’s very scary to think that the guy who was telling us to inject bleach into our veins is just now deteriorating mentally,” he said. “That would mean that when he was drawing in Sharpie on the weather maps, he was fine.”

OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it
Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.
