MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Jimmy Fallon humorously quipped about Donald Trump's limited focus, suggesting that Trump resorts to passing notes to his legal team during his hush-money trial.

“After taking a day off, former President Trump’s hush-money trial resumed today, and during the proceedings, he apparently keeps passing handwritten notes to his lawyers,” Fallon remarked in his opening monologue for 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on the night of May 2.

“Well, we actually have a few right here, and they’re pretty interesting,” he said before throwing to several graphics of fake handwritten Trump notes.

“For instance, this one says, ‘Does Uber Eats deliver to court?’” Fallon began, further exclaiming, “This next one says, ‘Are you best friend? Check yes or no.’ I mean, pay attention."

In his final joke, Fallon teased Trump's preference for Diet Coca-Cola. With no food or drinks allowed in the courtroom, there's speculation that Trump might be finding it challenging to stay alert without his typical intake of 12 Diet Cokes per day.

"This one says, ‘Don’t tell anyone, but I got a 16-ounce bottle of Diet Coke in my tie,'" Fallon quipped, wrapping up the segment with a nod to Trump's famously lengthy ties.

Late-night talk show hosts have shown a strong interest in Trump's trial since it began on April 22.

Previously, Fallon playfully ribbed Trump for supposedly dozing off during court sessions, a claim the former president has refuted.

"I read that in an effort to stop Trump from falling asleep in court, his lawyers have been giving him a number of different devices. A number of devices? So far, the only thing that can keep him awake is an iPad playing ‘Bluey,'" he jestingly remarked on the May 1 episode.
