“Trump just sat down for an interview with ‘Meet the Press’ where he said that he wants to end birthright citizenship, pardon the Jan. 6 defendants and put Liz Cheney in jail,” the “Tonight Show” host said Monday. “Some people’s New Year’s resolutions are a little darker than others.”
He said the president-elect covered many topics during the NBC interview, “but there was one thing he got a little stuck on.”
“The Tonight Show” showed a clip of Trump telling NBC’s Kristen Welker about factors that led to election success.
“I won on groceries,” Trump said. “It’s a very simple word. Groceries. Like almost — you know, who uses the word? I started using the word. The groceries.”
“When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time. And I won an election based on that,” he added.
Fallon took a beat to try and process what Trump had said — and then commented, “it almost sounds like it could be a song.”
