After President Donald Trump lightly remarked to a reporter: “I cannot tell a lie,” Jimmy Kimmel pounced on the moment Tuesday. (Watch the video above.)
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host noted that “Trump did try to lift spirits yesterday and actually told a pretty funny joke” at a coronavirus briefing, then cut to Trump’s playful declaration of truth-telling.
“That’s a good one,” snapped Kimmel, who pointed out that Trump quickly went on to tell “another lie” in claiming that he hadn’t left the White House in months “except for a brief moment.”
Kimmel imagined the rest of Trump’s answer.
“Did I hold a rally in an enclosed space even though I now claim to have known it was dangerous at that time? Yes! Do I have an Advent calendar counting down the days until … my next one? You bet your dirty mask I do!”
