ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel reacted to President Trump’s recent physical at Walter Reed by suggesting he does not believe him when reported that there is “nothing wrong with him.” However, skepticism towards presidential physicals is new for Kimmel, who, when Joe Biden was president, claimed he did not care what the results were. Kimmel was alluding to Trump’s claim that he took a cognitive test that featured some math equations as well as his new “Dumocrats” nickname for Democrats, where Trump explained that he switched out the “E” for a "U" when he claimed to have taken the same cognitive test and that there was no math, “He’s making that up. Even his lies are lies. You know, if you take the ‘E’ out of dementia—If you remove the ‘E’ and you replace it with a ‘U.’ You've got something called dumentia.”   Jimmy Kimmel does basically a 180 on presidential physicals. Reacting to Trump's, he says, "Last year Trump was diagnosed with a condition called Chronic Venus Insufficiency and the word Venus in that case spelled with a P. And today he went for another examination. He got a… pic.twitter.com/38b7GDTiyX — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) May 27, 2026   According to Kimmel, he is not the one with double standards; Trump is, “And he's very sensitive about the idea he's losing it mentally because that's what he kept saying about Joe Biden, and he's sensitive about the idea he is physically unfit as well. He got another physical today. It's his third examination in a little over a year. Do you think when they do these, he knows he's going to the hospital? Or is it like when you trick your dog into going to the vet?” He also retorted, “Last year Trump was diagnosed with a condition called Chronic Venous Insufficiency, and the word Venus in that case spelled with a "P." And today he went for another examination. He got a glowing report from himself. This afternoon he posted, ‘Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out perfectly. Thank you to the great doctors and staff heading back to the White House.’” Kimmel then continued suggesting that he does not believe Trump, “Trump says there's nothing wrong with him. The reason he went in is because the doctors said, ‘Sir, please, come in for another exam so we may gaze upon your chiseled body and plump, delectable testicles.’ And I'll tell you something: his brain is hard as a rock, too. This is from Aaron Rupar, who noticed Trump's post about Iran today is identical to what he posted about Iran eight days ago. He posted the same passage twice. Which means he either doesn't know he's repeating himself, or he's seeing the future. He’s Postradamus.”   In 2024, Kimmel retorted that Biden "got a clean bill of health. The doctor said that even at 81, he is as healthy as a horse and buggy and it's funny, people act like the results of Biden's physical are somehow going to influence who we vote for? I don't care if he comes out of… pic.twitter.com/radKuQKkyV — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) May 27, 2026   All of that stands in contrast to what Kimmel said on February 28, 2024, after Biden’s presidential physical, “Biden's physical took about three hours. One hour of physical examination, two for him to get his pants back on. He got a clean bill of health. The doctor said that even at 81, he is as healthy as a horse and buggy, and it's funny, people act like the results of Biden's physical are somehow going to influence who we vote for? I don't care if he comes out of that doctor's office in an iron lung. I'd be fully okay with a Weekend at Bernie’s-type White House situation if it means no Trump.” Almost four months after that, Kimmel would angrily denounce those who saw video footage of Biden having to be escorted off the stage after freezing at a fundraiser he hosted as proof Biden was losing it. Perhaps it is Kimmel who is sensitive about the idea because he is trying to compensate for his role in covering up Biden’s decline and paving the way for his archnemesis to retake the White House. Here is a transcript for the May 26, 2026 and February 28, 2024, shows: ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! 5/26/2026 11:43 PM ET JIMMY KIMMEL: He’s making that up. Even his lies are lies.

MRC Watchdogs churn out breaking news on a daily basis. Don't miss Today's Highlights, where you can keep up with the top MRC content, whether it's the latest study on media bias, a glaring omission from the elitist media, or how the Big Tech companies are serving up the same leftist spin as the media.  Top Stories: Coincidence? Elitist Media See Traffic Surge as Apple News, Google News & MSN Prop Them Up AI chatbots are being weaponized with left-wing media bias as millions rely on them The View Suggest NFL QB Jaxson Dart Should Be Injured for Supporting Trump Lenient Judge's 'Intuitions' Fail: Repeat Offender Arrested for Another Shooting Spree Shameless: TIME's Platner Cover Story Spins Scandal as 'Secret Sauce,' a 'Redemption Arc'     Coincidence? Elitist Media See Traffic Surge as Apple News, Google News & MSN Prop Them Up Traffic spikes for several mainstream media outlets directly align with their promotion on major tech news aggregators.  Newsweek experienced a major drop in monthly traffic immediately following a significant reduction in story promotions by Microsoft MSN.  Al Jazeera saw its website visits explode after Google News increased its promotion of the outlet by over two hundred percent.  The findings suggest that tech giant aggregators act as powerful digital gatekeepers that can heavily influence the audience size of specific media organizations.   AI chatbots are being weaponized with left-wing media bias as millions rely on them Major artificial intelligence chatbots are being weaponized to favor progressive political viewpoints. Several prominent chatbots rely disproportionately on left-leaning media organizations to generate answers to user inquiries.  Testing revealed that multiple AI platforms minimized recent graphic controversies surrounding Graham Platner while highlighting positive poll numbers. These technological tools function as a black box that silences conservative perspectives while appearing neutral to the public.   The View Suggest NFL QB Jaxson Dart Should Be Injured for Supporting Trump Hosts of The View suggested that football player Jaxson Dart may face intentional physical harm from other players as a consequence for his political views.  The controversy arose after the quarterback publicly endorsed and introduced Donald Trump at a recent event.  Co-host Joy Behar commented that Dart might need extra padding because his own teammates or opponents might try to injure him.  Other panelists suggested his offensive linemen might deliberately refuse to protect him on the field to punish his political stance.   Lenient Judge's 'Intuitions' Fail: Repeat Offender Arrested for Another Shooting Spree A violent repeat offender was arrested for a mass shooting in Massachusetts after being released early due to a lenient judicial sentence.  The suspect had previously served only five years of a recommended ten to twelve year sentence for attempting to kill police officers.  The sentencing judge explicitly noted at the time that she was taking a risk based on her own personal intuitions.  The second shooting spree would have been entirely prevented if the original sentencing request from prosecutors had been followed.   Shameless: TIME's Platner Cover Story Spins Scandal as 'Secret Sauce,' a 'Redemption Arc' Time magazine faced criticism for a cover story that heavily praised a highly controversial Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner. The publication framed the candidate's numerous personal scandals and explicit past online comments as part of an appealing redemption arc.  The media profile downplayed major controversies involving a Nazi tattoo, a prior arrest, and hostile internet posts.  Critics argue that the article used highly favorable framing to spin a wealthy newcomer into a working class populist hero.      

Bonchie of RedState.com asked an interesting question on X: Has a single late night comic told a single joke about Graham Platner? That question shouldn’t have to be asked the radical-left Democrat Senate nominee in Maine, the one who had the Totenkopf symbol tattooed on his chest, which symbolizes the SS who ran the death camps. Okay, that doesn’t sound funny. But Platner is a walking, talking pin-cushion for comedians. Add to the Nazi tattoo these gaffetastic items: -- Mocked Purple Heart recipient Ted Daniels after he was shot four times in a 2012 battle with the Taliban:  “Dumb motherf---er didn’t deserve to live.” -- Replied to a discussion about nostalgic military smells by declaring: "I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas----er… that blue water smell conditioned me." -- In a discussion on rape, Platner claimed people should “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to.” -- Identified himself ideologically as "I got older and became a communist." -- Railed against police officers, writing, “F--- these cops,” and “Cops are bastards… All of them, in fact.” -- Responded to a post titled, “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks,” by insisting, “Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.” Platner’s as ripe for caustic jokes as former GOP congressman George Santos, and the late-night comedians once ran 72 jokes on Santos in a two-week period in 2023. Alex Christy at NewsBusters, who counts the jokes on the late-night shows, found zero Platner jokes on ABC, CBS, or NBC in late night. Someone could argue that if Platner is energetically ignored by network newscasts, then the late-night viewers might not know enough to get the jokes. This underlines the argument that late-night comedy shows act as message-enhancers for the leftist networks. If they obsess over Santos in the news, then the comedians obsess in the “comedy.” It’s a one-two punch. Last October, there were a couple of Platner jokes on Comedy Central's “The Daily Show” from fake-news host Michael Kosta. On Platner’s Reddit posts, he summarized: "A communist who hates police and thinks rural white people are stupid. Mr. Platner, you must step down from the Maine Senate race -- and move to Brooklyn to be their anointed king!” That’s not exactly negative. He then added: “I'm kidding. I think Platner still has a chance. Sure, his posts are offensive to rural white Americans, but keep in mind, most of them can't read." He’s siding with Platner over the rural rubes. A few weeks ago, “Daily Show” Monday host Jon Stewart brought Platner on his “Weekly Show” podcast and lamented any comedy: “You have been caricatured in many ways, in the national media....And so to be able to spend an hour or so just getting to know you and getting to know your story, you really make a lot more sense to me now.” Time magazine just published a soft-soap cover story on Platner, furiously spinning: “After decades of nominating buttoned-up technocrats with glittering résumés, many Democrats want candidates with flaws, faded ink, and redemption arcs that resemble their own. Platner’s past, in other words, may actually be his path.” The gaffes may be his “secret sauce,” said one Democrat.  “Comedy” has been weaponized in late night as a partisan tool to undermine Republicans as evil, stupid, even criminal. They were targeted with 92 percent of the political jokes in 2025. The Left is somehow never worthy of mockery. 

Over the holiday weekend, New Jersey Democrat politicians gathered outside Newark’s Delaney Hall, which ICE has been using as a detention facility for over a decade. CNN showed video on Tuesday morning’s The Situation Room of several prominent Democrat politicians. Included in their highlight reel was New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, Senator Andy Kim, and Representative Robert Menendez, who spoke to cameras outside the facility amid swarms of protesters performing the modern Democrat’s favorite pastime as they clashed with officers and attempted to block vehicles coming in or out. These particular protests were spurred by unsubstantiated “reports of rough conditions like rotten food and a hunger strike by detainees,” according to co-host Pamela Brown. Brown also noted that New Jersey’s Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill and other politicians “say they were denied entry to the facility.” According to DHS, “visitation has been suspended out of an abundance of caution,” during the chaotic protests encouraged by these very same politicians.  Gloria Pazmino, CNN correspondent, reported the situation at the detention facility: This all started over the weekend after a reported hunger strike inside of Delaney Hall by detainees there who are trying to bring attention to what they say are unacceptable conditions, rotten food, a lack of access to medical care, people who are not able to be in contact with their attorneys, people who say that they're being denied their due process rights.   We have heard these talking points from Democrats and the leftist media for a long time, even though, according to DHS, ICE actually had higher detention standards than most regular prisons holding U.S. citizens, and detainees are provided with three meals a day.      CNN also conveniently left out DHS’s denial of the claims that illegal alien detainees could not receive medical care. Sherrill, though, inadvertently admitted that ICE was providing certain necessary items to detainees: We're having reports that women who are menstruating have to ask every time they need products. That's humiliating.  Apparently, in the mind of Governor Sherrill, a woman in ICE custody should only have to wish silently for menstruation products, rather than the usual human way of communication - speaking aloud and asking for what she needs - which she derided as “humiliating.” Pazmino also pointed out that this Delaney Hall detention facility was the same one that Congresswoman Lamonica McIver and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka used as a backdrop to their own performative grandstanding back in May of 2025. NewsBusters readers might recall they were arrested and indicted by a federal grand jury for trespassing and assaulting officers, among other charges. Menendez claimed that ICE was not letting the governor inside the facility for one reason only: Because they don’t want us to tell the stories of what’s happening inside. Because when we tell the stories, everyone in New Jersey and people across the country realize this is not who we are as a country, but a reflection of who we are in this moment under the Trump administration. Rather, the main lesson from this situation is that the Democrats and their allies in the legacy media will take every opportunity to grandstand for their preferred victim groups, rather than support popular and lawful federal actions. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: CNN's The Situation Room 5/26/26  10:42:35 am PAMELA  BROWN: All right, Wolf, also happening now, New Jersey officials are demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security about conditions at a federal immigration facility. You see it right here, this chaotic scene that erupted right outside of Delaney Hall in Newark yesterday between protesters and ICE agents amid reports of rough conditions like rotten food and a hunger strike by detainees in response. Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill and several lawmakers say they were denied entry to the facility. [Cuts to video] GOV. MIKIE SHERRILL (D-NJ): Everyone, regardless of your status, should be treated with dignity, making sure that you make your doctor's appointments, that you get your medication. We're having reports that women who are menstruating have to ask every time they need products. That's humiliating.[Cuts back to live] BROWN: A DHS spokesperson tells CNN visitation has been suspended out of an abundance of caution following these clashes, and that approximately 125 people surrounded Delaney Hall, forming a human chain, blocking all entries and exits. So let's go live now to CNN's Gloria Pazmino to learn more. Gloria, what can you tell us? GLORIA PAZMINO: Yeah, Pamela. And at this hour, demonstrators continue to be outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, trying to bring attention to conditions inside the facility. This all started over the weekend after a reported hunger strike inside of Delaney Hall by detainees there who are trying to bring attention to what they say are unacceptable conditions, rotten food, a lack of access to medical care, people who are not able to be in contact with their attorneys, people who say that they're being denied their due process rights.  And so several times now, we've seen clashes between law enforcement officers who are on site and protesters, including at one point, protesters trying to block a vehicle who - which was trying to transport a detainee out of that facility.  Now, we heard from the Governor of New Jersey yesterday. She was denied entry into Delaney Hall when she arrived to try to do an oversight visit. And Congressmen Andy Kim and Menendez also on site trying to get access to the facility.  We should point out this is the same facility where about a year ago, we saw other members of Congress actually being taken into custody, Congresswoman Lamonica McIver, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, also trying to get access. So we've seen a history at this facility. Take a listen to the members of Congress talking about what they saw there yesterday. [Cuts to video] REP. ROBERT MENENDEZ (D-NJ): The reason they want to make this as hard as possible, they won't let the Governor in is because they don't want us to tell the stories of what's happening inside. Because when we tell the stories, everyone in New Jersey and people across the country realize this is not who we are as a country, but a reflection of who we are in this moment under the Trump administration. SEN. ANDY KIM (D-NJ): These are not the people that Donald Trump keeps saying that they are trying to lock up. [Cuts back to live] PAZMINO: Pamela, the Department of Homeland Security has denied that there is a hunger strike ongoing inside the facility. We have spoken to some of the lawyers that are representing some of those who are inside. They point to the same conditions we have been hearing about. And as I said, this is just a facility that has seen a lot of activity in the past year as we continue to see an increase in deportations and arrests by federal immigration authorities. BROWN: All right. Gloria Pazmino, thank you so much.

There was once upon a time in the not-distant past where questioning the president’s health and fitness got you called an ageist, conspiracy theorist, or cheapfakes disseminator. Not anymore. With Joe Biden out of The White House and Donald Trump back in, there is suddenly a Strange New Concern for presidential health. Watch as ABC’s Rachel Scott maxes out on her mentions of President Trump’s various maladies: After covering for President Biden's physical and cognitive decline, watch as @ABCWorldNews displays a Strange New Concern for presidential health:RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight- President Trump leaving Walter Reed Medical Center after a three hour visit, his third in the last 13… pic.twitter.com/Q4IWjeibnh— Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) May 27, 2026 RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight- President Trump leaving Walter Reed Medical Center after a three hour visit, his third in the last 13 months, declaring himself in good health. The White House says he underwent routine annual dental and medical assessments as part of his regular preventative health care.  President Trump, who will turn 80 in June, writing on social media: “everything checked out perfectly.” But tonight, no further details from the president's doctor. It comes amid questions about the president's health. Photos showing bruising on his hands, which he has been covering with makeup. The White House has said it's from frequent hand shaking and the use of aspirin. President Trump has also been spotted with swollen legs, which the president's doctor said is a result of chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition. Earlier this year, the president revealed he received a CT scan in October after The White House initially said it was an MRI. The president's doctor said the imaging was preventative and his cardiovascular system shows excellent health.  Correspondent Rachel Scott then did about a minute or so on Iran before circling back to President Trump’s physical. Held at Walter Reed. And did you know that Trump is about to turn 80? When you add David Muir’s introduction/brief, that totals four mentions of the physical within a two-minute report plus a full rundown of Trump’s various maladies. CBS ran a similar report built upon similar narratives, but exercised far greater discretion so as not to appear too ham-handed. Here is that report in its entirety as aired on the CBS Evening News on Tuesday, May 26th, 2026: WATCH: @CBSEveningNews joins ABC in displaying Strange New Concern over presidential health, albeit more discreetly.TONY DOKOUPIL: We turn to President Trump's medical checkup today.

Most Americans over 65 are managing chronic health conditions, at least one or two, that according to the National Council on Aging. But the president said today his health checked out perfectly. Chief White House Correspondent Nancy Cordes joins us with details. Nancy, good evening to you. NANCY CORDES: Tony, good evening. The White House is billing this as a routine annual dental and medical evaluation. Though, it's actually his third medical exam in the past year. All told, the president spent about three and a half hours at Walter Reed Medical Center today. White House officials telling us we should get a readout from the president's doctor within the next day or so. Although as you mentioned, Trump delivered his own report right after the visit which he called a six month physical. He said, Tony, “everything checked out perfectly.” DOKOUPIL: So Nancy, what do we know about the president's health as he prepares to celebrate 80 years on the planet? CORDES: Well, he was treated last year for chronic venous insufficiency, a fairly common condition for people his age. It can cause some swelling. He's also often seen with some bruising on his hands which the white house has said is due to aspirin use combined with frequent hand shaking. Otherwise his doctor has said that his cardiovascular and neurological health are good, Tony. DOKOUPIL: All right, Nancy, Thank you very much. It is worth noting that NBC ran no such items on the Nightly News, choosing instead to devote its White House time to covering preparations for the upcoming UFC Fight Night at The White House. We learned that walkouts to the Octagon will depart from The Oval Office. Some are already calling this card the worst-ever desecration of The White House, as if the Biden administration didn’t host that one Topless Transgender Day- which the Elitist Media didn’t cover, either.   This sudden impulse to do reporting stands in stark contrast to what transpired during the last administration. The American people were expected to pretend that the President of the United States didn’t routinely fall over, or slur his words, or fall asleep at assorted functions, or shake hands with ghosts. The Elitist Media were key to these efforts by omitting coverage of Joe Biden’s decline. Now? With Trump back in charge? It’s (D)ifferent. Also, a stark reminder that if it weren't for double standards, there's be none at all.

RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight- President Trump leaving Walter Reed Medical Center after a three hour visit, his third in the last 13 months, declaring himself in good health. The White House says he underwent routine annual dental and medical assessments as part of his regular preventative health care.  President Trump, who will turn 80 in June, writing on social media: “everything checked out perfectly.” But tonight, no further details from the president's doctor. It comes amid questions about the president's health. Photos showing bruising on his hands, which he has been covering with makeup. The White House has said it's from frequent hand shaking and the use of aspirin. President Trump has also been spotted with swollen legs, which the president's doctor said is a result of chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition. Earlier this year, the president revealed he received a CT scan in October after The White House initially said it was an MRI. The president's doctor said the imaging was preventative and his cardiovascular system shows excellent health.  After this most recent doctor's visit at Walter Reed today, the president heading back to The White House as tensions escalate with Iran. Over the weekend, President Trump praising the negotiations, saying the two sides were getting a lot closer to a deal. But then just hours after negotiators arrived in Qatar, the U.S. launching strikes on southern Iran. Tonight, U.S. Officials calling it self-defense, saying they detected alarming activity over the past 24 hours. Iranian boats trying to lay mines near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's supreme leader vowing retaliation, saying the region will no longer be a shield for American bases.  The president will hold a Cabinet meeting here at The White House tomorrow, and we are told despite those strikes, negotiations with Iran do continue. And of course, all of this does come with those questions about the president's health. The president was seen leaving Walter Reed earlier today insisting that everything checked out perfectly fine. David. MUIR: Rachel Scott, at her post at The White House for us. Thank you, Rachel.
