“Gang who brought polio back is on the case”: Kimmel taunts Donald Trump over Russia aid promise

Jimmy Kimmel reportedly taunted Donald Trump over his promise made to the Russians, who are currently suffering from a pneumonic plague. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel presented a video about Trump saying that they were examining the issue very seriously.

In the clip, the president explained that the illness was called pneumonia and added that in earlier times, pneumonia could be treated more easily. Trump even clarified that microbes and germs had become stronger in an uneven way compared to the past and concluded his statement by saying that they would provide as much help as possible.

After watching the footage, Kimmel mocked Trump and said:

"They'll help. No worries, the gang who brought polio back is on the case."

He mockingly assured his viewers that they don't have to worry about the issue because the same group that was responsible for bringing polio back is currently taking charge of the situation.
