Jimmy Fallon gets in Trump’s crosshairs
The late-night talk show host recently talked about the backlash he received for ‘humanising’ the US President on his show
President Donald Trump is telling Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon to “be a man” and stop “whimpering” about the personal anguish he felt over the backlash he received after messing up Trump’s hair during a 2016 campaign appearance on Fallon’s late-night talk show.
Fallon recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he “made a mistake” on the September 15, 2016, episode and would do it differently.
The comments didn’t appear to sit well with Trump.
The president tweeted Sunday: “.@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous “hair show” with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have “humanised” me — he is taking heat. He called & said “monster ratings.” Be a man Jimmy!”
Fallon responded on Twitter with a nod to the plight of young immigrants caught up in administration policies.
“In honour of the President’s tweet I’ll be making a donation to RAICES in his name,” Fallon said, referring to a non-profit organisation that provides free and low-cost legal services to immigrant children, families and refugees in Texas.
