Jimmy Kimmel Live somehow got “exclusive” footage of how Donald Trump is prepping for his first presidential debate against Joe Biden, set to air Thursday (June 27).
Martin Short, who is guest hosting Live this week in Kimmel’s absence, included the special (very much fake) footage in his opening monologue during Thursday’s broadcast.
The so-called clip from Trump’s camp shows the former U.S. president — or rather, his face imposed on a man’s body — as he devours a mountain of fast food. At his side is a woman who is supposed to be Melania Trump, who appears to be fighting for a good night’s rest while he goes on about Biden.
The video uses a rant Donald shared on Truth Social earlier this year in a bid to North Dakota voters.
“This is the most important election in American history. Under Crooked Joe our country is being destroyed, our economy is being wrecked by Biden’s inflation disaster,” he says. “Our borders are being overrun, we’re being invaded, our values are under attack.”
He continues, “Crooked Joe Biden has us stumbling to the brink of World War 3, our country in other words, is a mess.”
As the camera pans away from the couple, Donald demands, “More Oreos!”

As guest host, Short has been continuing Kimmel’s tradition of railing against the Republican candidate ahead of this year’s election.
“He looks great!” Short said after sharing the clip. “The Ozempic is very close to kicking in, I think.”
During Wednesday’s (June 26) broadcast, Short took some more “contractually obligated” shots at Donald and his marriage.
After announcing that Melania may not live in the White House with Donald if he wins the election, Short admitted that he has “a little empathy” for her.
“I mean, she entered this marriage, she had a certain expectation, and that expectation was that the average life expectancy for an American male is 76.3 years old,” he said.
For the record, Donald is 78 years old.
