PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Donald Trump recently came under fire after making a homophobic remark about late-night host Jimmy Fallon on Truth Social platform, as reported by MeidasTouch News.

The former president's remarks sparked widespread criticism and internet trolling, as he described Fallon as a "bumbling stumbling host(ess!)," implying a feminized insult. Trump's latest online outburst seems to be fueled by Fallon's relentless satirical attacks on him.



 

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.

Donald Trump's homophobic jab at Jimmy Fallon draws flak online

Trump’s homophobic jab at Fallon quickly caught the attention of internet users, who wasted no time in ridiculing Trump.

One X user said, "Keep up old man…you never had a sense of humor and everybody knows it. You are too busy trying to relive your glory days when you could still fool people. We are on to you now…in spades!"

While another remarked, "Trump is jealous and obsessed because Fallon is handsome, funny, and witty -- 3 things he is has never been in his life."



 



 

A user wrote, "Your jealousy is showing, Donald. Poor boy. No one has any interest in bringing a traitor onto their show as a guest. Contrary to what you say, their shows reach millions worldwide. That means we're all laughing at you together. Have a nice day!"



 

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."



 

One user commented, "Trump never does not take the bait. Remarkable thin-skinnedness." A user sarcastically mentioned, "It's so presidential to post about television show ratings."



 



 

Another user stated, "Their ratings are doing just fine honey. The late night comedians are hilarious when they roast you Donald."

Lastly, a user said, "It kills Trump that every late night host trashes & laughs at him. He desperately wants their respect."
