- Jimmy Kimmel is roasting Donald Trump for discussing a number of topics including "gender mutilization" *[sic]* with a group of children in the Oval Office yesterday.
- The kids were there to celebrate the president's reinstatement of the Presidential Fitness test in U.S. schools.
- The host described Trump as a "very, very normal, just a totally lucid, very rational, clear-minded, level-headed person sharing his thoughts on gender reassignment with a group of young kids."
Jimmy Kimmel is calling out Donald Trump for his “very normal” and “totally lucid” and not-at-all-strange remarks to a group of children in the Oval Office yesterday.
The late-night host explained on Tuesday’s episode of *Jimmy Kimmel Live* that the children visited the White House to celebrate Trump's revival of the Presidential Fitness Test in U.S. schools, only to find themselves subject to the President’s bizarre rambling.
“They were there for about an hour, over the course of which [Trump] covered a wide range of subjects including his landslide victory in the election; Ozempic, which he calls ‘the fat shot;’ he bragged about ticket sales for the World Cup; the UFC fight on the White House lawn,” Kimmel said. “He bragged about bombing boats and, of course, what a great, great job he's doing as president.”

Footage then cut to Trump telling the kids about being given the Nobel Peace Prize by its original recipient Maria Machado and falsely claiming that “nobody else ever ended a war” prior to him.
“You're getting this, kids? You're writing this down?” Kimmel quipped. “Nobody else ever ended a war, and I strong-armed the Nobel Prize from a lady named Maria. She's a good person.”

Trump proceeded to share his thoughts on transgender athletes competing in sports and on “transgender mutilization” *[sic]* in front of the children, telling them at one point not to listen to his remarks.
“In all fairness to the Democrats, when you have men and women's sports, when you have open borders, when you have transgender mutilization *[sic]* — don’t listen to this kids — of your children,” he said. “Transgender mutilization *[sic]* of your children for everyone.”
Kimmel could only laugh at Trump’s comments. “For everyone. Everyone’s getting ‘mutilizated,’ did you know that, children?” he teased. “This man is insane, okay? He made up a word, ‘mutilization,’ and he's telling children about it!”

Trump had another peculiar moment with one of the kids after they told him that they plan on trying out powerlifting next year. “And you'll never compete against women in powerlifting,” the president noted, before reiterating an unconfirmed anecdote about an unnamed transgender powerlifter who allegedly broke an 18-year record.
“Think that’s fair?” Trump asked golfer Bryson DeChambeau, who was standing behind the child. Patting the boy's arm, the president added, “I don’t think we’ll have to worry about you. You’re gonna do good.”
“Very, very normal, just a totally lucid, very rational, clear-minded, level-headed person sharing his thoughts on gender reassignment with a group of young kids,” Kimmel said. “That's our guy!”
The comedian also poked fun at Trump taking the group of children outside to play golf, pointing out that he was unable to sink any of his putts.
“He took three shots, he missed all of them, and then he gave up,” Kimmel said. “Which is a great lesson, you know, if at first you don't succeed, try two more times and then screw it.”
