James Corden ridiculed Donald Trump on his show last night by singing a song called 'Maybe I'm Immune' in a parody of a Paul McCartney hit. The British comedian made light of Trump's Covid-19 infection by replacing McCartney's lyrics with references to the president's heavy breathing, his reluctance to wear masks and his notorious comments about injecting people with bleach. The satirical rewrite of the Beatles legend's 1970 hit Maybe I'm Amazed also poked fun at Trump's controversial car ride outside the Walter Reed military hospital and the perplexing statements issued by Trump's doctors during his stay there. The adapted title referred to Trump's claim on Monday that he could even be immune from Covid-19 - despite his doctors' warnings that he may not be 'entirely out of the woods yet'. Corden's opening segment started with a clip from Trump's video message when he returned to the White House on Monday, including the president's comment that 'now I'm better... and maybe I'm immune, I don't know.'Corden then launched into his song while sitting at a piano, beginning with: 'Maybe I'm immune 'cause today I'm feeling so alive... just don't be afraid of the way I'm breathing.'Maybe I'm immune, it's OK to go out for a ride, with others trapped inside, maybe you're immune to the lies my doctors tell you.'

Referring to Trump's treatment, the song went on: 'Maybe I'm a man and maybe I'm just high from this experimental cocktail... maybe I just need some oxygen. 'Maybe I'm immune to the way the polls are looking now. Maybe I'm afraid that it's not fake news. 'Maybe I'm immune to all the lies that I have made... I shouldn't have downplayed.'Maybe I'm afraid of the way that I might lose this... maybe on November 3 I just might lose this.' Polls have consistently shown Joe Biden leading the race for the presidency, with voting already underway and less than four weeks left until polling day. While Trump has dismissed them as 'fake polls', the surveys also show Biden with a small but persistent lead in key states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
