On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel <\/a>addressed Donald Trump Jr<\/a>\u2019s wedding, the New York Knicks<\/a> making it to the NBA finals and raised an eyebrow to claims that Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s physical went \u201cperfectly\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Donald Trump Jr<\/a> married his partner, Bettina Anderson, in the Bahamas in a small ceremony attended by 40 guests \u201cnone of whom were his father\u201d, Kimmel noted.<\/p>\n

On Truth Social, Trump wrote that he \u201cvery much wanted\u201d to be there but felt it was \u201cimportant for me to remain in Washington, DC at the White House during this important period of time\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had circumstances pertaining to government \u2013 and also flying to a private island makes him miss his friend Jeffrey,\u201d Kimmel joked in reference to Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a guy who golfs two, three times a week, he\u2019s going to UFC fights with Vanilla Ice,\u201d said Kimmel. \u201cHe was too busy for his son\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he did say Don and Bettina are going to have a great marriage, and this is a man who knows a great marriage; he\u2019s had three of them himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been reported that a larger celebration at the White House will follow the Bahamas ceremony in the fall, with the president expected to attend. \u201cWell, you\u2019d hope so, they live there,\u201d said Kimmel. \u201cCan you imagine if they didn\u2019t show up to that one, too? \u2018We wanted to make it, but we were unable to go downstairs.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The host then turned to discuss the Iran<\/a> conflict, with Kimmel saying that Trump was \u201cstuck in [the war] like a pig in a vat of chocolate pudding.\u201d On Saturday, the president said that a deal with Iran was nearly finalized, but US bombs continue to strike the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s as if that Fifa peace prize means nothing to this man,\u201d joked Kimmel.<\/p>\n

On Memorial Day, Trump posted a Truth Social message wishing a happy holiday to all, \u201cincluding the Dumbocrats who disrespect our military\u2026God bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one puts the \u2018me\u2019 in Memorial Day like Donald J Trump,\u201d Kimmel said to applause.<\/p>\n

The president has also rebuked reports of his poor fitness levels. He received his third physical examination in just over a year yesterday, saying: \u201cEverything checked out PERFECTLY.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s his third examination in little over a year,\u201d said Kimmel. \u201cDo you think when they do these he knows he\u2019s going to the hospital, or is it like when you trick your dog into going to the vet?\u201d<\/p>\n

The host then concluded by addressing an odd video of Robert F Kennedy Jr<\/a> picking up two snakes and proudly displaying them to the camera.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re trying to bite him!\u201d Kimmel exclaimed. \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve handled raccoon penis, I know what I\u2019m doing.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then he gets bitten, not just once \u2026 That\u2019s when you know the guy\u2019s a genius, when it happens multiple times. His skin is like an old saddle. Nothing breaks through.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s dangling these snakes like they\u2019re yo-yos or something. And then he took them in the house and ate them like Twizzlers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel addressed Donald Trump Jr\u2019s wedding, the New York Knicks making it to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":607164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-607163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
