Kimmel went into dissection mode during his recent monologues, questioning the official explanation for the “big, red, gross mark” on Donald Trump’s neck. Trump has, for a while, been the subject of speculation regarding his physical well-being.

The initial explanation came from Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, who issued a statement on March 2. He attributed the mark to a “very common cream” being used as a “preventative skin treatment” and claimed the redness would likely persist for weeks. This vague description was an immediate target for Kimmel.

“If it’s so common, why don’t you tell us what cream it is so we can not put it on our necks?” Kimmel joked on his show, expressing the skepticism many felt about the lack of specific details. The comedian then moved on to more playful, speculative theories. He dismissed the idea that the mark was romantic in nature, quipping, “One thing we know for sure: it’s not a hickey from Melania.” He then added, “It’s probably a vampire bite from Rudy Giuliani. or something.”

The story took another turn when the rash appeared to have completely vanished, contradicting the physician’s statement that it would be visible for weeks. Trump apparently had makeup applied to his neck to hide the bruise, which Kimmel mocked further in his Tuesday monologue. “Today, he added a thick layer of paint, adding yet another swatch to his never-ending color palette,” Kimmel said.

Kimmel ended his dissection of Donald Trump’s neck rash by saying, “Every day, our president looks more than Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs.” The White House has pushed back against the scrutiny in general.
