In the scripted interview, Fallon imitated Trump’s most weird idiosyncrasies right in front of his face without breaking eye contact, but Trump took it all gracefully on the pouted chin.

After Fallon initially asked about Trump apologizing, the business mogul joked that “this was not supposed to be one of the questions”.
“Well, we’re going to build it”, Trump said as the audience tittered.
“I’m like you now; I don’t use teleprompters”, the host shot back as the crowd roared, with Fallon crumpling up a piece of paper on his desk, presumably with the prepared questions on it. He also sat down with Fallon for a more conventional interview, in which he discussed the economy and how he would build his promised wall on the United States border with Mexico. I’ll make them set up the board.
“But, ultimately it turned out I was right and now people reporting on me are saying “thank you very much”, Trump said tonight”.
When Jimmy as “Donald” asked the real Donald if Gary Busey would be his Vice President, the Republican candidate said, “Look, I love Gary – he’s fantastic, but more of a Supreme Court Justice, in my opinion”.
“I was too busy staring at my lovely reflection”, he said. “I’m like a Greek God that just took a bath in a Pumpkin Spice Latte”. In the sketch, West’s name was brought up as Trump’s possible running mate.
“Vice president’s a very important job”, he continued.
Fallon asked Trump to say something nice about Carly Fiorina.
“You dig yourself in a hole, and instead of getting yourself out of the hole, you just keep digging”, Fallon explained. “I think they feel that if I’m president, I will do some great things for our country, and we’re gonna be respected again….” Trump’s reflection was played by none other than the “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon.
Trump: “Honestly, it happens to be 100 percent true”. “I don’t know her, I never really met her”. “If you’re not wrong …”
Fallon asked the billionaire developer if he has ever apologized for anything, and Trump was quite clear: he’ll apologize, if someone can prove he’s wrong, according to an Associated Press report.

Fallon, resplendent in his head-to-toe Trump regalia, kicked things off by asking Trump how he’d create jobs in the US “I’m just gonna do it”, replied Trump.
