Jimmy Kimmel joked on Live that Donald Trump is forcing his new cabinet appointees to undergo “subservience tests” to prove their loyalty to him after he noticed the president-elect seemingly forced his incoming secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to eat McDonalds.
Kimmel wasted no time in roasting the viral photo of Trump, Elon Musk, Kennedy, and others enjoying a McDonalds meal on a plane this weekend. The late night host joked that this is what he’s likely going to do with the rest of his cabinet picks.
“Trump loaded the whole grab them by the posse into the plane,” Kimmel joked, referring to that infamous hot mic moment from Trump’s first campaign.
He added, “There’s a lot going on in this photo, this is like the Last Supper but everybody is Judas.”
He pointed out that it looked like “health czar RFK” was enjoying “a quarter pounder with cheese, 10 McNuggets, a large fries and a Coke.”
“Only Donald Trump would force his new health czar to eat McDonalds. That’s what he does, these are subservience tests he gives,” Kimmel explained. “Mike Johnson has to go to a fight, RFK has to eat McDonalds, Matt Gaetz has to date a woman he didn’t pay.”

Before he was named Trump’s pick for attorney general, the former Florida Congressman was accused of engaging in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, as well as participating in the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl, according to Newsweek.
The House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into the matter. But Gaetz resigned from Congress after he was appointed to Trump’s cabinet, which means the committee’s report may never see the light of day, despite public outcry.
Gaetz is just one of the many shocking appointments Trump has made since being elected for a second term. Kimmel has been roasting Trump’s “ridiculous cabinet” on a nearly daily basis on Live, making it clear that he will not let up on his anti-Trump tirades during his presidency.

“Some believe he’s testing the Republican Congress to see how far he can push them, some say he’s doing this strategically to weaken certain areas of the government,” Kimmel told the audience.
“Or this is the theory I believe: He’s dumb,” he stated. “He’s a dumb man. He’s Donny-dumb-dumb.”
