Internet in stitches as Jimmy Fallon rips into Trump with fierce questions in hilarious mock interview
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In the May May 17 episode of 'The Tonight Show', Jimmy Fallon ripped into Donald Trump in a hilarious questionnaire but with a hilarious twist.
Fallon creatively brought out a set of questions concerning Trump's criminal trial, upcoming presidential debate against Joe Biden, his son's graduation, and more whose answers were clips from Trump's rallies and campaigns.
Jimmy Fallon quips about Donald Trump's hush money trial
Fallon kicked off the segment with a tongue-in-cheek oath, asking Trump, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
Trump's quick-witted response was from one of his campaigns: "No, no, no, no, no." Fallon, playing along, replied, "Okay, well, do your best."
The host then asked, "What have you thought of your criminal trial so far?" to which Trump nonchalantly admitted, "I was starting to fall asleep watching."
At 77 years old, Trump holds the distinction of being the first former president in American history to confront criminal charges, currently entangled in numerous allegations spread across four distinct legal cases.
The conversation then turned to Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress involved in Trump's hush money trial.
Fallon inquired, "How do you feel when Stormy Daniels showed up?" and then Trump quipped, "I woke up and I said, 'I feel great. Boom! Superman.'"
He pressed further, asking, "Just for the record, how long was your encounter with Miss Daniels back in 2006?", Trump's response, "Just like 10 seconds."
Reportedly, Daniels alleged that she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 and was paid $130,000 in hush money to keep quiet about the affair just before the 2016 presidential election.

Shifting gears, Fallon mentioned, "Now, I heard that, tomorrow, you're getting the day off of court to go to your son Barron's graduation. Are you and Barron close?"
Trump's response was from one of his rallies, "Barney is a fantastic guy." Fallon, ever the quick wit, accepted this mix-up with a chuckle, "That's close enough. Close enough."
Reportedly, Trump is taking a brief break from his ongoing criminal trial in New York City to attend his youngest son Barron Trump's high school graduation in West Palm Beach, Florida on May 17.
As the interview progressed, Fallon touched on Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, asking, "You're also campaigning for president. If you had to decide today, who would be your running mate?"
Trump declared, "Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man."
To add context, reports say that the former President referred to the notorious fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter as a "wonderful man" during a weekend campaign speech in New Jersey.

Considering the same, Fallon curious about the debate venues, asked, "And I saw you just agreed to debate President Biden. Do you know where those debates will be held?"
Trump suggested, "Uh, nursing homes and retirement centers," a jab at Biden's age that didn't go unnoticed.
In closing, Fallon asked, "Before you go, do you want to say anything about your plans for foreign policy in places like Saudi Arabia and Russia?"
Trump's response began with a characteristic stumble: "We are a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia will redur-- uh..." Before he could complete his thought, Fallon jocularly thanked him for his time, acknowledging the pressures Trump faces.
