Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday swiped at President Donald Trump with a nod to Jordon Hudson, Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend. (Watch the video below.)
In a monologue that taunted Trump’s first 100 days in office, “The Tonight Show” host said Trump kicked off a media blitz “that the White House is framing as a victory lap.”
“Now all he needs is a victory,” Fallon cracked.
“You can tell Trump just wants to focus on the positives,” the comedian continued. “Today when asked about his tariffs that tanked the economy, he said, ‘To quote Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, we’re not talking about this.’”
Hudson raised eyebrows by interrupting a CBS News interview with those exact words when the legendary coach was asked about where they met. It was not the only time she interfered, apparently.
In fairness to the president, he has his own way of dealing with media members he disagrees with. After he was fact-checked by ABC News’ Terry Moran on Tuesday, he sniffed:
“Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. ... I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that’s OK. ... But I picked you, Terry. But you’re not being very nice.”
