The White House claimed\u2014first they claimed it was a kite-surfing accident. No. They\u2019ve so far refused to give any detailed explanation of what it is. So we decided to investigate this ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tKimmel then investigated the situation by interviewing \u201cDonald Trump\u2019s badly bruised baby hand.\u201d The late-night show introduced a very orange hand topped with a swooping Trump wig and a large bruise. \u201cI was hoping you could tell us what is going on with that rash or whatever is happening north of you on the president\u2019s neck,\u201d Kimmel said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s not a rash,\u201d the hand replied with Trump\u2019s voice. \u201cThe neck is just a little irritated from all the medals it has been wearing. We\u2019ve won so many awards. The FIFA Peace Prize. Olympic gold. A lifetime achievement award from Arby\u2019s for eating 10,000 beef and cheddars.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tElsewhere in his monologue, Kimmel addressed Trump\u2019s confusion about whether the U.S. is actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/political-commentary\/trump-war-iran-lies-fantasies-1235524016\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">at war with Iran<\/a>. \u201cHe keeps calling it a war. We\u2019re now on day five of whatever this is,\u201d Kimmel noted. \u201cPete Hegseth today said we\u2019re just getting started in Iran. They\u2019re still trying to figure out who will be Iran\u2019s next top Ayatollah.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tKimmel <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=41zwxsvPW-w\" target=\"_blank\">first addressed<\/a> Trump\u2019s rash on Tuesday night, joking, \u201cWho knew diaper rash could go up that high?\u201d He added, \u201cOne thing we know for sure, it\u2019s not a hickey from Melania. It\u2019s probably a vampire bite from Rudy Giuliani or something.
