MSNBC host Chris Hayes and MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki cracked each other up as they roasted President Donald Trump’s “butt-kissing” medical reports, like the one that attributed the height and weight of an NFL star to him.
Trump received a glowing report from Dr. Sean Barbabella after his second comprehensive medical exam this year and following a raft of health chatter in the media. This report, however, did not include the height and weight details that his April report did.
During the show toss on Friday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, Psaki couldn’t help mock Trump after listening to Hayes roast that April report’s claim that Trump was the same height and weight as NFL star Patrick Mahomes:
CHRIS HAYES; That is all in for this week. The briefing with Jen Psaki starts right now. Hey Jen, happy Friday!
JEN PSAKI: Happy Friday! I was just watching your two blocks I feel like–.
It’s also that doctors are telling Donald Trump that his body looks like Patrick Mahomes?
CHRIS HAYES; (LAUGHS).
JEN PSAKI: Is that part of this sycophantic butt-kissing that’s also happening? I don’t or is he telling them to write that
CHRIS HAYES; I just, I don’t like to linger on anyone’s body and how it is–.
JEN PSAKI: (LAUGHS).
CHRIS HAYES; –and we all inhabit this, the forms that we have on this earth. I just the numbers, sometimes you just sort of stop and need to fact check them a little bit for yourself. That they’re right in the copy– when they come out of those Walter Reed–.
JEN PSAKI: Well, look, I’m for body positivity, a thousand percent as well, but it’s sort of like having a very out of reach actor play you in a movie, right?
CHRIS HAYES; Exactly!
JEN PSAKI: It’s a little bit like, you know, nobody believes it. There are other people that they could kind of compare it to and the football player comparison is just, it’s a little bit much.
CHRIS HAYES; Well, I am hoping for a Chris Hemsworth casting in my biopic.
JEN PSAKI: Well, obviously, I don’t even know. Now I have to think of somebody.
CHRIS HAYES; Yeah, I think that’s a good one.
JEN PSAKI: I’m going to just like Reese Witherspoon. I’m just going to like, let’s just all think out of reach people and be in the same vibe.
CHRIS HAYES; A fun thought experiment.
JEN PSAKI: Exactly. All right, Chris, I’ll see you tomorrow.
CHRIS HAYES; Oh, yes, I will see you, tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
JEN PSAKI: Sounds good. Have a good night.
