Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Trump for Claiming Biden Spent ‘$8 Million on Making Mice Transgender’: ‘Are They So Dumb They Don’t Know How to Google?’

Jimmy Kimmel, on his late-night ABC show, continued to make fun of Donald Trump’s speech to Congress. On the March 5 episode, Kimmel criticized Trump for falsely claiming that the Biden administration had spent $8 million on making mice transgender. Trump stated “this is real,” but Kimmel countered by saying “No, it isn’t real.

Jimmy Kimmel stated, ‘It’s often said that the President of the United States claims we spend $8 million on mouse gender transitions.’ Upon hearing this, one might think, ‘He probably isn’t telling the truth, but there must be some basis to it.’ However, in this case, it appears there is no truth to it. It’s a false claim.

Kimmel clarified that the government has allocated funds for genetically engineered mice, specifically designed for laboratory research on diseases. He emphasized that this is not related to transgenderism; the term ‘trans’ in ‘transgenic’ simply refers to the genetic manipulation, not gender identity. It seems puzzling whether they deliberately ignore the confusion or lack awareness of the correct meaning of ‘transgenic’, or assume we, too, may be unaware of how to search for accurate information online.

Jimmy Kimmel playfully remarked that they’re changing Mickeys into Minnies and vice versa. However, he added a joke saying it’s actually an attempt to cure conditions like dementia and heart disease, which one would assume Trump would support since those are issues he might face in the near future.

As a discerning moviegoer of the facts, I must clarify that Trump’s assertion about Biden spending $8 million to transform mice into transgender beings has been debunked by reputable sources like CNN. The research in question focused on understanding how HIV vaccines behaved differently in hormone-treated mice, not on the intention of making these rodents transgender. Instead, this study aimed to explore the potential impact of such treatments on human health, providing valuable insights into the intricacies of medical science.

According to EbMaster, Trump’s speech to Congress drew an average audience of approximately 36.6 million viewers, which represents a 13% increase over Joe Biden’s most recent State of the Union address in 2024 (with 32.2 million viewers). However, this latest speech by Trump falls short of his previous record-breaking viewership of 47.7 million for his 2017 State of the Union.
