Trevor Noah mocks Trump’s ‘excellent’ check-up: ‘Did you test for racism?’

The talk show host questions the president's mental stability and overall health.

Jan 17, 2018

The Daily Show host and comedian Trevor Noah came for Donald Trump in extra doses after the White House’s official physician’s report declaring the president to be in “excellent” health.

During a press conference Dr. Ronny Jackson explained that Trump had a healthy heart and gums and that he had “no concerns” over his cognitive ability.

“No heart problem, no dementia, and no dentures? But did you test for racism?” Noah quipped on Tuesday’s episode of The Daily Show.

“You covfefe in your normal mind?”

But it was the doctor’s claims that the 71-year old Trump shows no signs of any impaired cognitive function that seemed to blow Noah’s mind the most.

After all, Noah said, if Trump was “completely sane,” then that meant Trump was “doing all of this sh** on purpose.”

“You covfefe in your normal mind?” Noah pondered. “Because to us — the non-experts — the only thing that looks healthy about Donald Trump is that he’s shaped like a food pyramid, right? To say his health is excellent is like medicine is gas lighting us now. Like, how is this possible?”

Trump’s mental health and stability have recently been called into question, along with concerns about whether he is mentally capable of serving as the President of the United States. And if Noah’s reaction is any indication, it doesn’t look like Dr. Jackson has quashed those concerns. At all.

“Dictator blood”

Noah also lambasted Jackson’s claims that Trump had good “genetics” and that he would live to be “200 years old” if he would only eat properly.

“My God! If you think Trump’s racist at 71, imagine how racist he’ll be when he’s 200!” Noah said.

Noah also said that he wasn’t surprised by Jackson’s projections. After all, he said, Trump had “dictator blood” that granted long life. As evidence, Noah pointed to the long lives of other controversial leaders including Fidel Castro, Robert Mugabe, and Queen Elizabeth.

“So well done, Trump,” Noah said. “You’re healthy. We owe you an apology.”
