Jimmy Kimmel has a damning theory about it

“Trump has a big red bug on his neck,” Kimmel said, referring to a large rash-like patch of skin that recently appeared around the president’s neck.

The White House has said it was due to the use of “a very common cream” prescribed by her doctor as a “preventive skin treatment” and that the redness was expected to last a few weeks.

But Kimmel had his own theories about the eruption.

“Just when you thought Melania couldn’t find another reason not to sleep with him,” he joked. “Or maybe he tried to strangle him in his sleep. I don’t know.”

To get to the bottom of the mystery, Kimmel brought in a surprise guest: the red mark on Trump’s hand.

Check it out in his Wednesday night monologue:
