Kimmel on Trump Getting Hit with Microphone in Press Gaggle: ‘How Funny Would it Be if that Happened from Here on Out?’

KIMMEL: “Tomorrow, Trump is planning to release the files related to the assassination of JFK. Why do I feel like we’re gonna find out Jeffrey Epstein killed JFK? It’s so weird, releasing the classified JFK files feels, which we’ve been waiting for so many — it feels like just a normal Tuesday thing now. So many insane things happen now. This is what he posted at 12:35 A.M. He gets up in the middle of the night and writes, ‘The ’pardons’ that sleepy Joe Biden gave to the unselect committee of political thugs, and many others, are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force or effect, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them.’ Now, Autopen is this device every modern White House uses, including Trump’s, for presidential documents. It’s a robot pen that has your signature. Trump is claiming, without any proof, of course, that Biden never actually signed those pardons and didn’t know they were — in Trump’s opinion, a president’s signature is not official unless it is written in black sharpie on a woman’s chest and/or wrist. That’s — this is good. This happened on the tarmac as he was exiting his helicopter and getting on his plane Friday. Keep a close eye on the fuzzy microphone here.”

Reporter: “Mr. President, obviously you’re concerned — you’re concerned about the situation in Gaza. What are the hopes now to get the hostages back?”
Trump: “She just became a big story tonight, right?”
Reporter: “Yes, sir.”
Trump: “Did you see that?”

KIMMEL: “Yeah. How funny would that be if that happened every time he gets interviewed from here on out?”
