President Donald Trump received praise for signing an executive order demanding federal agencies strengthen initiatives to educate Americans in the early stages of kidney disease.

But some of his comments about the location of the kidney in the human body raised eyebrows.


In his remarks ahead of the signing, Trump said:

"Very special -- the kidney has a very special place in the heart. It's an incredible thing."

Watch below:

The kidneys—for the record—are located underneath the ribcage, closer to the back. They filter blood before sending it back to the heart, but are not part of the heart.

An unfortunate choice of words on Trump's part?

Maybe even some rare wordplay?

A lack of basic anatomy knowledge?

Considering the President has previously claimed the moon is a part of Mars, people were more inclined to believe the latter.







We have no idea.

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
