Covid Potus & Flotus

Watch the following videos

What jokes are made & what do they refer to?

Jimmy Kimmel jokes

• To throw my ballots in the river (to cast a ballot/to cast a vote = to vote in an election) - useless vote after useless debate Trump/Biden

• False news -> Fake news (Trump's pet peeve)

• He couldn't smell his McGriddle (McDonald's bacon/egg/cheese sandwich - referring to Trump's trashy eating habits/being overweight)

• He does have Obamacare (US citizens finally received health insurance under the Obama administration and Trump vowed to strip it away during his presidency)

• People wondering does he really have the virus or is it a ploy (referring to Trump's fake news rants)

• Trump making fun of Joe Biden wearing a mask (making him look like an unreliable person)

Jimmy Kimmel jokes

• The White House is now a summer camp with lights on - Covid connecting the dots (referring to the discussion on reopening  summer camps + "connecting the dots" -> finally come to a logical conclusion)

• Mike Pence the vice poodle (as the Vice President, he doesn't have any say, just follows Trump)

• I would ask my money back at the fundraiser (Trump visiting the fundraiser and not wearing a mask, knowing he might be contagious)

• Mike Lee giving hugs on the lawn - he's what's called a stupor spreader (stupor = near unconsciousness or insensibility / usual fixed expression = super spreader)

• Mike Pence is the head of the Covid task-force (well, with him heading the task-force, it's bound to go wrong)

Jimmy Kimmel jokes

• Mike Pence is planning to make a longer statement as soon as he can stop whistling "zip-a-dee-doo-dah" (a so-called coon song - racist song, probably referring to Pence's Sept. 23rd ignorant comments on "People should stop talking about police racism"

• The debate between Trump and Biden may have been an already even bigger disaster than we thought (Trump may have infected Biden as well during the disastrous election debate during which both were extremely impolite, constantly interrupting each other)
