Jimmy Fallon hyped up the Kentucky Derby on Thursday’s “Tonight Show” with a wisecracking impression of President Donald Trump. (Watch the video below.)
The host noted that some of the horses’ names are “American Promise,” “Journalism,” “Chunk of Gold” and “Rodriguez.”
Then he busted out his Trump imitation to comment on the entries: “You had me at American Promise. You lost me on Journalism, had me back at Chunk of Gold and lost me again at Rodriguez.”
Trump of course loves patriotic buzzwords, wages war against the mainstream press, appears to worship wealth, and has been carrying out mass deportations (some of which are legally dubious) of Latinos.
Rodriguez was scratched from Saturday’s race but at least the horse was able to help the comedian trot out the bit.
