Donald Trump makes homophobic jab towards Jimmy Fallon on Truth Social
"Can anyone imagine being critiqued by ratings starved Jimmy Fallon, the bumbling/stumbling host(ess!) that single handidly reduced the Tonight Show to ashes. It all makes you realize how great Johnny Carson was! The good news is that his CBS & ABC 'counterparts' are worse than him, if that’s even possible. They are all RATINGS DISASTERS!!!" read Trump's post.
Trump’s post followed a recent episode of 'The Tonight Show,' where Fallon made several jokes at Trump's expense. The comedian targeted Trump’s alleged memory issues, referencing an author who claimed that Trump suffers from severe memory problems.
Fallon joked, "I’m starting to think he writes his name on buildings just so he can remember where he lives," drawing laughter from his audience.
Fallon didn’t stop there. He also likened the memory lapses of both Trump and President Joe Biden to the plot of the 2004 film '50 First Dates,' suggesting a new movie title, "50 First Debates."
The comedian then introduced a mock advertisement for a memory loss pill designed specifically for presidents, featuring Trump’s face on the bottle.
Fallon is known for his consistent mockery of Trump, and in another recent episode, he imagined Trump seeking validation from authoritarian leaders, according to HuffPost.
Fallon mentioned a pact between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, joking that Trump texted them with a proposal for a "Throuple," a reference to a three-person romantic relationship.

Another user posted, "Everything to him is about ratings, polls, and crowd size. His fragile ego can't handle any criticism. Trump can't stand people who outshine him in any way and forget it if someone is not "loyal" to him. Big ass baby."
