Jimmy Fallon isn't letting Donald Trump live down his political bromances. During a recent broadcast of *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*, the late-night comedian took direct aim at the politician following reports that Trump plans on setting up another face-to-face meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Opening his signature monologue, Fallon wasted no time poking fun at the potential diplomatic reunion. The host laughed off the announcement by comparing the effort to someone reaching out to a former flame after years of silence, teasing that contacting an old hookup from five years ago is a clear sign of hitting rock bottom. ## What did Jimmy Fallon say about Donald Trump? The punchlines kept rolling as Fallon imagined how a future summit might play out on the calendar. He joked that any upcoming meetup would heavily depend on how the two world figures handle coordinating their matching couple's Halloween costumes later this fall. Sinking into his standard impression of Trump, Fallon quipped to his studio audience that the pair would probably dress up as snacks, imagining a setup where one represents a bag of chips while the other plays the guacamole. The studio crowd rewarded the impression with loud cheers as Fallon pivoted to visual evidence. ## Why is Jimmy Fallon mocking Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un? The talk show host pulled up a throwback photograph capturing a previous meeting between Trump and Kim. In the vintage snapshot, the two were seen engaged in an intense handshake while standing so close that their midsections appeared to lean directly into each other. Fallon couldn't help but roast the intimate body language. He told viewers that watching their midsections press together reminded him of two expectant mothers playfully bumping their bellies together inside a Lamaze preparation class. Late-night hosts frequently turn to high-profile political headlines for monologue material, and Trump's international relationships have long been a favorite target for network comedy. As talk of new diplomatic sit-downs continues to generate buzz, fans can expect late-night shows to keep dissecting every awkward moment frame by frame.
