“It is very rare that anyone gets a Perfect Score, especially when achieved four times in a row,” he added.
Meyers poked fun at Trump’s social post early into his show Monday night, telling audience members, “If you’re so good at them, why do they keep giving them to you?”
“I don’t know how often I have to say it, it’s bad when they keep making you take the test,” Meyers added. “When they keep making the quarterback retake his math exam in hopes of getting him eligible to play Saturday, that kid don’t know math.”
Kimmel, who often feuds with Trump, also questioned the president’s annual exam during his opening monologue Monday.
“No president in the history of this country has ever had to have his brain examined this many times in a row,” Kimmel told his live studio crowd. “Congratulations.”
“I mean, what a thing to brag about,” Kimmel continued. “This is like bragging about passing a breathalyzer test. It doesn’t mean you did great. All it means is they’re not going to lock you up.”
Trump has tried to project strength ahead of the midterm elections, and his 80th birthday this month. But the president faces several questions about his stamina and physical health.
Photographers have repeatedly captured makeup covering bruising on Trump’s hands — the president’s physician said in his report last week that the bruising was a “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking.” He’s also appeared to doze off during televised meetings on multiple occasions. Trump has claimed that he will “close his eyes” if a meeting is “a little bit on the boring side.”
When a journalist posted a photo of Trump’s eyes closed during a meeting last month on maternal health, the White House Rapid Response account responded on X, “He was blinking, you absolute moron.”

Late night hosts aren’t the only ones curious about the frequent tests. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz was asked on Tuesday during a White House press briefing why the president has undergone so many physical exams if he is healthy.
“I think he likes the results,” Oz responded. “He aces the test every single day, and I do actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything is going in the right direction.”
In response to a Globe request for comment, White House spokesman Davis Ingle said that Trump “is the sharpest, most accessible, and energetic president in modern American history.”
“Marble Mouth Meyers and seriously unfunny Jimmy Kimmel might be two of the dumbest and least talented television hosts in history,” Ingle said in an email. He added that the two comedians suffer “from a severe and incurable disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it has rotted their peanut-sized brains.”
Ingle did not respond to a question about why the president has had multiple physical exams in his second term.
