Jimmy Fallon Impersonates Trump: “You’re All Fake News”
Donald Trump is becoming a favorite for late night TV and even Jimmy Fallon couldn’t help but tackling the world’s worst press conference.
Trump’s first solo press conference took place yesterday and quickly became the talk of the town. Our usual go-to Trump-talkers, also known as Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, both covered it on their late night shows. But when we saw Jimmy Fallon covering it as well on The Tonight Show, we knew this was going to be good.
And it was. Jimmy Fallon did a Trump impression that was pretty spot on. He started his show with a cold-open announcing, “Thank me and buckle up because I’m comin’ in hot. This is gonna be a crazy one. Daddy came to play. First of all, you’re all fake news, I hate you all very much, and thank you for being here.” Sounds pretty familiar. He addresses any connection with Russia, the White House and the confusing resignation of Michael Flynn, and of course, his favorite topic of them all, fake news.
Watch the entire clip here:
“I knew that he knew that I knew but he didn’t know that I knew that he knew that I knew that he knew that I knew that he knew, so now you know,” Fallon says about Flynn’s communication between Russian officials.
"“We’ve made so much progress. In fact, if you ask any American, they’ll say that I’ve managed to make the last four weeks feel like four years,” Fallon said. “Four more weeks! Four more weeks! Four more weeks!”"
As Samantha Bee said on Full Frontal this week, “We’re only one menstrual cycle into this presidency and there is blood in the water.” Four weeks is long enough for me.
