President Donald Trump is causing the manosphere to spiral.

On Thursday’s episode of Shane Gillis and Matt McCusker’s podcast, the comedians compared the president to his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, while discussing Trump’s cognitive state.

“You think he’s getting dementia?” McCusker asked his co-host Gillis about Trump.

“I mean, I don’t know. He just seems a little slower than usual,” Gillis responded. “There’s speculation that T-Dog might be rocking Biden brains,” McCusker added.

“He’s definitely not at Biden brains yet,” Gillis replied. “But he’s circling the drain.”

While Gillis isn’t explicitly pro-Trump, the “Tires” star’s brand of comedy appeals to MAGA. He’s also interviewed Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his podcast, which has also acted as a platform for right-wing conspiracy theorists.

The comedians’ remarks about Trump were prompted amid a longer conversation regarding the president telling Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be “quiet, piggy” onboard Air Force One earlier this week. Trump said this to Lucey after she asked him a question about the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“‘Quiet, piggy’ was fucking crazy. It’s pretty wild,” Gillis said. “I just can’t think of how embarrassed that lady must have been.”

The two-time “Saturday Night Live” host then went on to imagine how “funny” it would be if one of Lucey’s colleagues standing beside her aboard Air Force One “hated her” and secretly loved that Trump said that to her.

“‘Oh, got that bitch!’” Gillis said, imagining what this fictional colleague was thinking. “‘I’ve been waiting for someone to kill her.’”

McCusker and Gillis also admitted that they had no idea who the reporter who was called “piggy” was, although Lucey’s name was released around the same time that news of Trump’s insult broke.

“Can we see who this person was?” McCusker asked his staff off-camera. “I kind of want to get the visual, more so, the name would be kind of meaningless.”

After the comedians saw a photo of Lucey, they concluded that she doesn’t “look too big.”

Gillis added, “She might have had a piggy’s demeanor.”
