'Love this show': Internet chuckles as Jimmy Fallon mocks Donald Trump with satirical money plea ad
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Jimmy Fallon, host of 'The Tonight Show,' opened his monologue with a humorous spin on the unusually cold weather, likening it to the chilliness of Donald Trump's financial state.
"Well, guys, what a beautiful 20-degree spring day it was, huh? Yeah, you can go ahead and hide your Easter eggs now. It's basically a fridge out there. It was a cold one," Fallon quipped, setting the tone for the rest of his segment.
Fallon pokes fun at Trump's financial woes with hilarious ad
Delving into the latest news surrounding the former president, Fallon brought up reports suggesting Trump might not pay the hefty $464 million bond from a civil fraud case.
"I read that former President Trump is considering not paying the $464 million bond from a civil fraud case and letting the New York attorney general seize Trump Tower," he said, eliciting laughs from the audience.
Fallon couldn't resist making a humorous comparison, remarking, "Trump's net worth is shrinking so fast, people are wondering if it's on Ozempic."
He then added, "And get this, the New York attorney general is also preparing to seize Trump's Westchester golf course. Yeah. Today, the attorney general showed up at his golf course and yelled 'Fore-closure!' 'Fore-closure!'" The witty play on words had the audience roaring with laughter.
With a touch of irony, Fallon highlighted the potential consequences for Trump if he fails to comply with legal obligations.
"In just a few days, there's a chance Trump could go from owning a penthouse on a golf course to putting into a coffee mug in a studio apartment," he joked, painting a humorous picture of Trump's hypothetical downfall.
Continuing to riff on the situation, Fallon emphasized the seriousness of the legal proceedings Trump faces. "That's right. If Trump doesn't pay, the New York Attorney General may seize Trump Tower and his Westchester golf course," he reiterated.
Fallon then teased a fictional advertisement featuring Trump's determination to secure the necessary funds, adding another layer of comedic relief to the narrative.
The ad read (in Trump's spoof voice): "In the arms of the angel ♪ -Every day, the horribly unfair and corrupt Letitia James threatens to take away an innocent building. Many beautiful properties like this are going to be put out in the street unless you find it in your heart to donate a small sum of $464 million."
"That's right, just the price of a $464 million cup of coffee. Call the number on your screen in the next 30 minutes, and we'll send you a photo of the building you saved, along with a tote bag with my face on it," it added.
