- Jimmy Kimmel shares his theory on Donald Trump being seen by 22 medical specialists during his latest medical checkup.

- According to a medical report shared by the White House and referenced in a *Washington**** ****Post* report, officials said the number was commensurate with the need to perform a "complete and preventive evaluation."

- "Twenty-two specialists is not a medical team. That's a soccer team," Kimmel quipped to his late-night audience.

Jimmy Kimmel has a theory about Donald Trump's latest medical checkup.

During his opening monologue on Thursday's *Jimmy Kimmel Live*, the late-night host highlighted a *Washington**** ****Post* report published May 30 that claimed that Trump was seen by 22 specialists ahead of his 80th birthday on Sunday. According to the medical report shared by the White House and referenced in the *Post *piece, officials said the number was commensurate with the need to perform a "complete and preventive evaluation" of the president. Sean Barbabella, the president's physician, said the assessment found that Trump was in "excellent health."

Kimmel was more than a bit skeptical of the report on "Donald 'Jiggle Jugs' Trump."

"Not only is Donald Trump expected to be our oldest president, he is our healthiest president, at least according to the doctors he ordered to say that," Kimmel quipped to his audience. "Two who examined him, and 20 who wanted to know what he looked like naked. They're like, 'Get in here! You gotta see this!'"

Kimmel went on to note that 22 specialists is "not a medical team. That's a soccer team."

"But I get it. They wanted to make sure the president is tippy-top for his big MMA-themed birthday party. We are now three days away from the first ever UFC fight on the White House lawn," the comedian continued, referring to the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 event set to take place on Sunday.

Kimmel noted that there is currently a "46 percent chance of rain in Washington on Sunday," which UFC CEO Dana White has asserted will not deter the event from going on as planned.****"The UFC CEO, Dana White, said the fight will go on even if lightning strikes. If God wanted the White House to be struck by lightning, that would have happened 18 months ago, so I think they're pretty safe," Kimmel joked.

The UFC event is sponsored by Monster Energy drink, which Kimmel said is the perfect metaphor for Trump's administration. "One of the Monster Energy flavors is Mango Loco, which would also be a great nickname for the president," he added.

During Wednesday's episode of *Jimmy Kimmel Live, *the host called out the Trump family for releasing a special edition $11,999.99 commemorative gold coin in honor of UFC event. The coin depicts Trump on its front, with its packaging also featuring photos of him and White.

The commemorative coin is just one of four different medallions that the Trump family is selling ahead of the UFC event. Their online shop also includes a five-ounce silver version of the gold coin, which retails for $1,324.99, as well as a one-ounce silver coin at $249.99 and a one-tenth of an ounce gold coin at $1,499.99.

"It's a beautiful coin. Julius UF-Caesar is pictured," Kimmel said. "This is one ounce of pure PF70-rated gold. Just for comparison, an ounce of PF70-rated gold in coin form without his head on it goes for about $4,500 bucks, so this is a steal!"

He also pointed out that the medallion’s fine print claimed the souvenir was "not political and has nothing do with any political campaign" and is "not legal tender and has no face value" in the world.****"You really have to hand it to Trump," Kimmel quipped. "I mean, it takes a special kind of con man to sell your supporters money they cannot spend any place."
