Unfounded rumors swirled on social media<\/a> this week about the president\u2019s health<\/a>. Conspiracy theorists pointed to the fact that Trump hadn\u2019t been seen publicly since his Cabinet meeting on Wednesday and had a clear weekend schedule.<\/p>\n On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host joked: \u201cThat\u2019s how much he\u2019s in front of a camera. When we don\u2019t see him there, we assume he must be dead.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel quoted Trump insisting that he\u2019s \u201cnever felt better,\u201d adding, \u201cDespite the fact that he looks like a pumpkin that got left in a hatchback on a 100-degree day, he is definitely not dead.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel then played footage of Trump being asked about the rumors in the Oval Office. \u201cHow did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?\u201d Fox News\u2019 Peter Doocy asked the president.<\/p>\n \u201cWatch this,\u201d Kimmel said, replaying the footage. \u201cWho\u2019s the only one smiling in that group?\u201d<\/p>\n He then zoomed in on JD Vance grinning in the background.<\/p>\n \u201cGood old JD,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cHe hears the words \u2018Trump dead,\u2019 he lights up like a Christmas tree.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel concluded: \u201cDonald Trump will never die. Forget it. He\u2019s like Dracula. He\u2019s gonna keep sucking the life out of us forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Elsewhere on Wednesday\u2019s episode, Kimmel addressed rumors that he was moving to Italy after revealing last month that he had obtained Italian citizenship.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not moving to Italy,\u201d Kimmel clarified.<\/p>\n \u201cI never said that. This is where I live. This is my country. I have no intention of running away from it, especially because of Donald Trump,\u201d he continued. \u201cLet me tell you something, I would move into Mar-a-Lago if I could, just to drive him insane.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel has been one of Trump\u2019s most vocal critics since before his first term in office.<\/p>\n In response, Trump has claimed that Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will be the next late-night hosts to lose their jobs<\/a> after The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was canceled by CBS.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cFallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They\u2019re next. They\u2019re going to be going. I hear they\u2019re going to be going. I don\u2019t know, but I would imagine because they\u2019d get \u2014 you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon,\u201d the president told reporters last month.<\/p>\n Other figures from the entertainment world with whom Trump maintains longstanding beefs include Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>, Bette Midler<\/a>, Debra Messing, <\/a>Rosie O\u2019Donnell, Robert De Niro,<\/a> and Bruce Springsteen<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116611,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,348],"class_list":["post-116610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116610\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jimmy](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Jimmy-Kimmel-Live.png\")
