LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' the host humorously delved into the US Court of Appeals ruling that denied former President Trump presidential immunity against criminal charges.

Fallon brought his comedic flair to the unfolding legal drama, predicting how Trump and others might react to this significant development.

Fallon's comic spin on Trump's appeal plans and Clarence Thomas' wishlist

The court's decision, met with cheers and applause from Fallon's audience, highlighted that Trump plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court, with a jest suggesting Brazil as a potential alternative.

Fallon humorously quipped, "You can call me Donaldo," drawing laughter from the crowd.

Amidst the legal proceedings, Fallon wittily commented on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' hypothetical requests for an Apple Vision Pro and Super Bowl tickets, adding a satirical touch to the serious nature of the case.

Trump's campaign responded to the ruling, expressing respectful disagreement, prompting Fallon to jest, "Although if Trump knew how to respectfully disagree with the loss, he wouldn't be on trial in the first place."



 

Fallon explores Trump's 'disgraceful' lack of immunity and hilarious banter with Aaron Rodgers, Boeing, Zuckerberg, and a soulless AI

The central theme of the segment revolved around the court's ruling that Trump lacks presidential immunity, prompting an immediate reaction from the former president.

Trump released a statement, deeming it a "disgrace" that he no longer has immunity. In a comedic twist, Fallon imagined a humorous exchange between Trump and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who recently faced controversy over his vaccination status.

Fallon humorously portrayed a fictional dialogue where Rodgers quips, "No immunity? Join the club, bud."

The comedic sequence continued with a chain of responses involving major figures, including Boeing and Mark Zuckerberg, playfully welcoming Trump to their metaphorical "club" of challenges and disappointments.

The satire reached its peak with Fallon delivering Trump's remarks about his legal defense falling apart, contemplating the use of a soulless AI robot as replacement lawyers.

The segment concluded with Don Jr adding to the jest, saying, "Join the club, bud".
