Jimmy Fallon Jokes Trump Thinks Midterms Are Still Far Away: ‘That’s One and a Half Press Secretaries From Now’
The election is just a week away The post Jimmy Fallon Jokes Trump Thinks Midterms Are Still Far Away: ‘That’s One and a Half Press Secretaries From Now’ appeared first on TheWrap .
As Election Day approaches, NBC host Jimmy Fallon took a shot at President Trump's perception of the upcoming midterm elections in his monologue on Monday night. With just eight days remaining until the November vote, Fallon playfully pointed out that Trump had responded to the pressing news by comparing the short time frame to the brief tenure of White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, who had been fired after just five days - a record-breaking duration that surpassed even Anthony Scaramucci's time in the role.
Trump remains on the campaign trail, attempting to bolster Republican candidates, but Fallon jokingly suggested that his current usefulness is comparable to Spirit Halloween's popularity on November 1st. To emphasize the level of concern surrounding Republican prospects, Fallon referenced Trump's recent rally in Mississippi, a state typically solidly Republican.
He quipped that a potential blue victory in Mississippi would be a truly shocking turn of events, likening it to the unlikely prospect of a Cracker Barrel inside a Bass Pro Shop going blue.
