Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel reviewed Donald Trump's last two weeks, in which he spoke of Melania's underpants, hosted the lowest-rated Kennedy Center Honors telecast ever, and posted on Truth Social a whopping 556 times.

Kimmel said, "Over the last two weeks, since we left for break, Trump posted on Truth Social 556 times. Behold, the ramblings of a madman. That is real."

Kimmel noted that Trump had Vanilla Ice perform at his Mar-A-Lago New Year's Eve party, captured Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, lied about warning about Osama bin Laden in his book, and mocked Trump for claiming once again that he "aced" his cognitive test.

So, Kimmel took the cognitive test.

“In the interest of fairness, and also to get a sense of what he keeps babbling about, we got in touch with a doctor who gives this test regularly, these cognitive exams,” Kimmel said. “And I asked her to administer one to me.”

“This is the official exam administered by a medical professional," he continued. "I did not see the questions ahead of time. And I’m willing to release the full unedited version if necessary.”

“With that said, let’s find out just how difficult this big, beautiful test is,” Kimmel said, “and how my brain stacks up against our stable genius president’s."

Kimmel identified the animals in the drawing.

“I just saw Zootopia, so I know all the answers," Kimmel remarked.

Kimmel was then told that he got a “perfect score.”

Kimmel replied, “So I can be president.”

Well, for sure, Kimmel would make a better president, though the bar is low.
