"Even the antler guy from the January 6th riot was like, 'You lost, bro. Come on,'" the "Tonight Show" host says The post Jimmy Fallon Jokes Trump’s Denial of Midterm Results Is Proof His Election Night Tranquilizer ‘Finally Wore Off’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Jimmy Fallon, the host of "The Tonight Show," playfully ridiculed President Trump's recent doubts about the validity of the recent midterm elections. In a joking manner, Fallon suggested that the substance which may have affected Trump during the election night must have "finally worn off." Trump, on Monday, had expressed his skepticism about the election's integrity via his social media platform Truth Social.

He alleged that "early voting 'dumps' were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote," and questioned the influence of voting machines.

Feeling the spirit of the moment, Fallon seized the chance to poke fun at the president. "Apparently, the tranquilizer that hit him on election night finally wore off. He was like 'What are we talking about? It's rigged! Totally rigged!'" Fallon quipped. "Even the antler guy from the January 6th riot was like 'You lost, bro. Come on.'"

The segment was not limited to Trump, however. Fallon also addressed another controversy involving Trump. During a call to C-SPAN on Monday night, an unidentified woman could be heard laughing in the background, leading to speculation. Fallon confidently dismissed the notion that it was Melania, saying "Based on the happy laugh, experts are 100% sure it wasn't Melania. They are 100% sure." He further clarified that it "definitely wasn't his new Chinese spy girlfriend."

Lastly, Fallon took a shot at Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who has set his sights on running for re-election in 2028, despite being 95 years old. Fallon teased Grassley's campaign slogans, saying, "He's already working on some campaign slogans. Check these out," adding humorous versions like "Here’s Chuck Grassley: I Once Had a Situationship with Betsy Ross." and "Here’s Chuck Grassley: A True Werther’s Original."
