“Now I know that sounds highly illegal,” quipped Fallon before a dramatic, seconds-long pause — effectively making his comments the punchline.
Earlier in the monologue, Fallon teased Trump’s expected address to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, noting that he’s set to “lay out the successes of his first eight months.”
“Every world leader heard that and was like, ‘Phew, at least we’ll be out of here fast,’” he joked.
“When Trump talks, you don’t know whether the headphones people are wearing are translating Trump or playing a podcast.”
“Mexico is like, ‘Here he is, talking about walls again,’” said Fallon before facepalming.
