Jimmy Fallon is on a roll in taunting President Donald Trump with sexual jokes ― and some are making insinuations about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. (Watch the video below.)
On Wednesday the “Tonight Show” host was back at it again, using Taylor Swift songs to sum up the president’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Fallon got a big response for noting that Americans are worried that Trump isn’t ready for the talks to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “since his mind is basically a giant ‘Blank Space.’ ”
Then the comedian waded into very sensitive territory.
“Also, he’s distracted by the Epstein scandal. He’ll tell Putin it’s been a ‘Cruel Summer’ because everyone thinks ‘I Did Something Bad’ but I swear everyone on the island was ’22.′”
“Oooooh,” the audience reacted in he-really-went-there fashion.
Fast-forward to 1:50 for the Swift-Trump bit:
To be clear, Trump reportedly has never been investigated over anything involving the late Epstein. The sex offender’s hobnobbing with celebrities and politicians has generated high interest in what government files potentially contain about them.
And while Trump was reportedly told by Attorney General Pam Bondi that he is mentioned in the files, the context is not publicly known.
Trump brought some suspicion on himself by suddenly declaring the files to be a hoax. But some Republicans are backing a bipartisan House push for the release of all the files related to Epstein. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appears to be hindering the process.
Fallon has taunted Trump for a while on his about-face on the Epstein front.
On Monday the host noted that the president had hoped for a “trilateral meeting” of peace talks involving Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.
“Last time Trump had a trilateral meeting was on Epstein Island,” Fallon cracked.
On Tuesday, he again parlayed monologue chatter about the summit into another naughty dig at the commander in chief.
