"Donald Trump is trying his hardest to be more presidential lately," Jimmy Kimmel said on Thursday's Kimmel Live, taped before Trump alluded to the size of his penis during a presidential debate. "He released his health care plan yesterday, and I have to say, it's pretty good," Kimmel said. "You have a protein shake for breakfast, you have another one for lunch, and a sensible dinner." But really, he added, Trump's plan seems to reduce the number of people needing health care in the U.S. by prompting lots of people to move abroad. Done with the jokes, Kimmel had Trump tout his own health care plan, with the help of some rudimentary audio editing. His plan is available only at The Sharper Image, and you can watch Trump plug it below. Peter Weber
