What do you think?
Presidential candidate Donald Trump joined Jimmy Fallon on his show to talk about his current campaign to become the President of America, along with an update on his health and poll numbers.
During the interview, Jimmy strayed from the topic at hand and asked Donald if he could do something that he won’t be able to do if he succeeds in the election and that was to mess with Donald’s hair.
The massive mop that sits on Donald’s head has long been a topic of conversation so when Jimmy reached over and messed it up the audience erupted with laughter and applaud.
Watch the moment here:
But it’s because of this and the pace of the conversation that’s annoyed people. They think that Jimmy was too easy on the Presidential candidate and also humanised and normalised him.
Jimmy Fallon blew it tonight. Late night comedians used be the court jesters of culture. Humanizing a xenophobe is not okay. #FallonTonight

And Jimmy Fallon unfortunately just showcased a potential dictator on his show and made him like “just another guy.” Except he’s not…

Jimmy Fallon’s brand is “Everything is Awesome!” which is great until “everything” turns out to include the rise of xenophobic fascism

Jimmy Fallon is going to get crucified by the liberals for the way he is treating Trump.

Jimmy Fallon inviting Trump on is part of the normalizing of hate. Should be ashamed of himself. Lost all respect from me.

Awww Jimmy Fallon ruffled Trump’s hair and then goofed around with him for ten minutes. What a funny, adorable response to fascism!
