MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: In a recent monologue, Jimmy Fallon took aim at former President Donald Trump's financial woes stemming from his New York civil fraud case.

Trump's lawyers earlier made headlines by claiming their client is struggling to pay his $464 million bond.



 

Jimmy Fallon roasts Trump's financial woes and efforts to raise funds

Fallon wasted no time in injecting his trademark humor into the situation, quipping, "In his defense, how is a billionaire ever supposed to come up with half a billion dollars, you know? Come on, do the math," capturing the absurdity.

The comedic jabs continued as Fallon imagined the courtroom scene, with Trump handing over all his assets, only for the judge to deadpan, "Yeah, today Trump handed over everything he had, and the judge was like ‘I’m still gonna need the other $463 million."

Continuing his jest, the late-night host humorously suggested that Trump is resorting to extraordinary measures to raise funds, even venturing into unexpected and unconventional avenues.

Fallon proposed that Trump was so strapped for cash that he was resorting to renting out his properties on Airbnb.

"If you go on Airbnb, you can rent Trump Tower, Mar-A-Lago, and Eric," he joked, eliciting laughter from the audience.

The remark clearly alluded to the ex-prez's son Eric Trump, who has frequently been the subject of late-night ridicule as his father rarely mentions him or appears publicly with him.

Another pesron penned, "Oh gee. I feel so sorry for him. Not . The final chapter is being written as the clock ticks." 

One comment read, "I normally have a "no Trump after 11 PM" rule but watched this last night- thankfully the news was less "we're screwed" and more "Trump's screwed."

Meanwhile, someone else said, "The court should say what he said in his lovely story: ‘you CAN’t pay? So You’re delinquent?’” Then “No, I would not protect you, sir. In fact, I would encourage New York City to do whatever the hell NYC wants. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills."

Another viewer hilariously questioned, "A billionaire can't make a payment?"
