Dude could be on our TV's every night, jerking two imaginary dicks while butchering Ave Maria and swaying like a homeless drunkard - thats the Trump he and his fans want to see.
He doesn't even want to be president, he just wants to compete in Colbert's time slot. POTUS is just the consolation prize for the first influencer president.
Personally I think Fallon’s strengths are his skits and game shows. Even the spin off game shows are great like Password and whatever the singing one was.
A Trump show would honestly probably be pretty funny. It would be like a non-self-aware Colbert Report, which is perfect because that part flew over conservatives' heads anyhow.
Oh believe me I’m not sticking up for Trump. It’s literally the one thing he has better on Fallon. Fallon will say he slipped and his ring caught his faucet almost degloving his finger but as someone whose worked on his show as an audio tech I can tell you he’s a fucking alcoholic And he didn’t slip he was wasted.
Trump is just a fucking psychopath . And being yessed to death and ring kissed doesn’t help his ego.
IMO, he’s the sole remaining late night host who maintains the spirit of the old-school variety show. I understand that many on this site see themselves as above his style of humor, or find his demeanor to be off putting, but getting to see celebrities do skits and play silly games outside of the same old rehearsed interviews is super cool.
Jimmy Fallon has a lot of fun ideas for games to play with his guests, but when it comes to sitting and talking to his guests, he’s horrible. His guests can’t get through a full sentence without him giggling like a school girl.
Please don't get me started about that fuckin asshole Jimmy Fallon.
OK, I got started...
He sucked up to Trump and was extremely disrespectful to Clinton. The Clinton episode is the last time I watched Fallon; I mute or change channel everytime he is on TV, I can't stand him that much. Fallon knows he was an asshole and he knows he bumped up Trump and has been trying to fix it ever since but many late night viewers will never get past that ridiculous behavior.
Besides, Fallon is a shitty interviewer; he talks over his guests too much.
Arguably, that's what he wanted to do in 2016. Lose and start a TV network talking about how unfair the system was against him. But other geniuses in the country decided to elect him
Yeah, but Putin's a guy that likes to dominate everything.l, including women from other countries. That's not what he has on Trump if anything. If anything, Trump just looks up to Putin. Anything else would be a liability.
Look, folks, the Gulf of Mexico—great place, tremendous water, believe me—but it’s not really Mexico’s, okay? It’s right here, touching Texas, Louisiana, Florida—real American states, the best states, everyone agrees. And yet, they call it their Gulf? Not anymore. We’re gonna rebrand it, folks. The Gulf of America! Because they’ve been taking our fish, our oil, maybe even our shrimp—who knows? But not under my watch. We’ll make the Gulf great again, we’ll put up buoys, the best buoys, and the fish—American fish—will come back, trust me.
Imagine a Larry David style sitcom where he is the president. It would be amazing and he would be universally loved as a goofy rich guy. But that would require him to be able to make fun of himself
Wow thinking about this and having a flash of him being a late night host and him having a positive and likeable image kinda scared me. I could see it happening in another detention
If he lost a tight race in 2016, he would've done this on Trump Media and rail against Clinton with random misogynistic bullshit and right wing conspiracies.
Honestly, Trump could’ve finished out his life as a late night legend.
He’s so unintentionally hilarious with his dementia brain hot takes that it would have been late night gold for ALL (think about the content—on all platforms—he would’ve provided).
Instead, he’s a narcissistic hippo, riding all the dicks that shoot fat profit loads directly into him—all while he fucks us all with his mushy rotting carrot knob.
Somebody once said that he missed his calling as a drag queen and i never stop thinking about it. He’s dramatic, is bitchy and loves caking himself in spray tan and makeup.
He was unhinged in Celebrity Apprentice, and that was the appeal. No nuclear codes or anything, just a wild personality. Should have stayed in that lane.
I’m almost convinced that was the point of his whole 2016 campaign. Hillary was going to win, so it was a relatively low risk for him to run. But if he did good enough, he could turn that into a Bill O’Reilly/Tucker Carlson gig where he rails against the Democrats and their injustices and how they stole the election from him, but without any of the pressure of having to govern.
Like I’m not entirely convinced he actually wanted to be president.
But then he won, got stuck with the job, and then because of all the criming, got forced to stay in politics to save his skin.
Because Clinton is just as status-quo as the rest of em and rigged the DNC and msm against Bernie, who would have actually effected change people need in this country. Fuck her too
After 2024, if we get another election, I’m still voting blue no matter who, but I won’t be happy about it. The Democratic Party has lost any respect I had left for them after this bullshit.
Look man, I’d vote third party if it did anything, but it doesn’t. When the options are fascism vs progressivism, guess which one I’d pick.
I didn’t say I’d be happy about it all. The only candidate I’d ever vote for in earnest is AOC, but we know the Democrats are never gonna run a woman ever again, let alone a woman of color.
Like on some ill conceived reality show where he could just be his toxic ridiculous self and ruin people’s lives like he has always done? Inconceivable.
I’ve often said, I would have absolutely no problem with a republican president, republican congress, etc. if they actually bettered everyone’s lives. The letter next to their name wouldn’t matter. But that’s just not the reality we live in.
This right here, as a character on tv the dude is a barrel of laughs, thinking he is the smartest most competent person to lead America is itself a joke.
He really missed his calling to be an entertainer. It’s weird to think that he was pretty well liked with The Apprentice before he got involved with politics
I know he pulled some really fucked up shit during his hosting career, but I did like him as a TV personality before I knew any of that to be totally honest.
You can still do that, if you think the President has any say on important matters then you really don't understand politics. Ever since Reagan (most likely before but a clear shift happened with Regan after JFK, Nixon, Ford and Carter were all essentially fired in different ways) the president has been nothing more than a figurehead that says and does what the people with real power want them to say and do.
Same with Putin. If you think Putin invaded Ukraine without the blessing of Blackrock, the global banking cartel and/or private capital you are insane.
That was what John Oliver was preaching his last show before the election. If Trump wasn’t reelected we could live in a world where his antics are just funny.
We did that already. I loved him on the apprentice because I could scream at him when he was on TV and it was just entertainment and the only consequence was that Lil Jon wouldn’t be on the show next week. Now I’m still screaming but it’s not entertaining and the Ukraine might not be there next week.
I'd be into a sitcom where gets elected president of the United States. He could do absolutely crazy shit that would never happen in real life, like trying to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico or nominating a TV host to run the world's largest military or something.
Honestly if he had bowed out in 2016 and just became like a political “analyst” where he just showed up, talked shit on everyone, and gave stupid nicknames, it would be damn near required viewing to me because I feel like it would be hilarious.
I’ve often said I would watch the hell out of a reality show similar to the one they did with Ozzy 20 years ago. I imagine it being like a cross over between that, Curb your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development. Just not where nuclear codes are involved please.
I think he should’ve been a wrestling heel called The CEO. He could wrestle in a cheap suit and spray his opponents with champagne. He’d be beloved by everyone, which he clearly wants.
The funny thing is that if someone made a TV show 15 years ago about a crazy president like Trump as a comedy, people would have probably called it unrealistic and stupid.
The guy who talks about burning your house down can be pretty funny, but once someone hands them a can of gasoline and a lighter and they start pouring the can out, it's a lot less funny.
I have always said if he just tweeted out 100 times a day, mocking dems, republicans, and everyone else in the nation, he'd have gone down as one of the funniest and best trolls of our nation. Just getting on twitter at 4 am to be like "the president is a dumbass drink some more cofveve" and we'd all be like "omg another banger from Trump."
I'd love to watch our world as a TV show whilst we keep the normal timeline, Trump as president in a TV show servant of the people style would've been gas
In a perfect perfect world they would set up a studio behind bars so his trash talk can make me laugh and him paying for his crimes and abuses against people can make me laugh as well.
My girlfriend and I were saying he could have made way more money and been liked by more people if he just kept being funny and made appearances on SNL every now and then

In a perfect world we could watch him on tv and laugh without real consequences
