During his interview with Fallon, Trump repeated his request that there be no moderators at the debates between him and Hillary Clinton. In one key moment, Fallon mussed up Trump’s famous hair.

On Thursday night’s Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon got a feel of Donald Trump’s hair, much like a child giving Santa’s beard a yank for the first time, just to confirm it’s real – with all the same child-like enthusiasm, which Fallon has become known for.
“Look, I don’t know him, and I know nothing about him, really”, Trump said. A hesitant Trump agreed as the audience cheered, while noting he hoped “the people in New Hampshire where I’m going to be in about an hour from now will understand”.
During the show, Fallon performed an excellent impression of Trump during the campaign – from the high pitch of Trump’s candidacy announcement, to yelling his way through a speech on immigration, to the low, smooth tone he’s been employing in recent appearances.
Fallon asked if he could touch The Donald’s blond mop, which he didn’t appear to have a problem with. “You still have time, do you still want to do this?” “It’s been incredible to follow and exciting, because you say some shocking things”, Fallon said to Trump, at which the point the candidate interrupted him.
But given the awful, outrageous things Trump has said and done over his campaign that would permanently disqualify any other prospective candidate, giving him such a benign, light-hearted platform so close to November feels cheap at best and risky at worst. “I just think if we got along with Russian Federation, that’s not a bad thing”. I don’t dislike him.

I’m just saying, Jimmy, if you’re looking for viral content, there are plenty of other guests you could have booked last night. They make it like he’s my best friend.
