It’s Hilarious That Fallon Is on Trump’s Enemies List
And also extremely ominous, if you think about it
Stephen Colbert tore into Trump every night on The Late Show, and when Colbert got cancelled, Trump gloated like a high school mean girl whose social rival got fat. Jimmy Kimmel Live basically became Maddow at Midnight, and when Trump saw an opportunity to push Kimmel into traffic, he took it. Seth Meyers’ A Closer Look segment could be called A Closer Look at How Trump Sucks, so it wasn’t surprising when Trump called Meyers a “loser” and pushed for him to be canceled.
But you know what was surprising? That the same Truth Social post that tore into Meyers also negged Jimmy Fallon. It was the second time that Trump has shit-talked Fallon; in July, he called him “the moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show” (I guess Trump is more of a Steve Allen guy). Fallon is on Trump’s hit list, which raises the question: Just how inoffensive does a comedian need to be to avoid Trump’s wrath?
Fallon is the guy who notoriously played nice with Trump in 2016. Remember this?
