Jimmy Kimmel trolls Trumps allies with parody pharmaceutical ad

Donald Trump's allies are always quick to defend him, even when the president is banning press outlets from the White House — but Jimmy Kimmel may have a cure.

"It has become increasingly difficult for these hand-puppets of Trump's to explain the unexplainable — the nonsensical, unconstitutional, knee-jerk reactions he has to everything," says Kimmel in the clip above. "But fortunately the American pharmaceutical industry has been working on this, and help, as they say, is on the way."

Cue a parody commercial for "Lie Vitra", a "once-a-day pill that will keep you lying more than ever before," with "side effects that include depression, self-loathing, and the feeling of your soul leaving your body as you realise just what you've become."
