In a recent segment of "The Tonight Show," host Jimmy Fallon humorously dissected former President Donald Trump's recent remarks about not noticing "beautiful women."
Fallon's commentary followed Trump's speech at the New York Young Republican Club gala, where Trump praised his lawyer Alina Habba for being "beautiful" but insisted that he never thinks about beauty. Trump stated, "She happens to be a beautiful woman, but I never think about that because I never talk about beauty. I can see the most beautiful woman in the world - it doesn't register with me at all."
Fallon, seizing the comedic opportunity, quipped, "I'm thinking he might have overdone it a little bit," adding, "It's like when someone says 'I'm fine' six times ... 'OK, it's a little blood.'" Fallon continued with a playful jab, "Trump's like, 'When I watch 'Beauty and the Beast,' I focus all my attention on the Beast.'"
This statement by Trump stands in stark contrast to his controversial remarks from a 2005 "Access Hollywood" interview, where he was heard saying, "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful - I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
These remarks have been a point of contention and were used as evidence in a civil suit against Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of rape and defamation.
Despite being found liable for defamation and sexual abuse in Carroll's case, Trump has maintained his innocence, vehemently denying the allegations on social media. He described the case as a "scam" and criticized the judicial process, stating, "The DOJ will not defend me in the E. Jean Carroll civil case, which is all part of the political Witch Hunt, lawyered up by a political operative who I just beat in another case, financed by a big political funder, and 'judged' by a Clinton appointee who truly hates 'TRUMP.'"
He continued, "The statements that I made about Carroll are all true. I didn't Rape her (I won that at trial) and other than for this case, I have NO IDEA WHO SHE IS, WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER ... The trial was very unfair, with the other side being able to do and present virtually anything they wanted, and our side being largely and wrongfully shut down by an absolutely hostile, biased, and out of control judge."
Trump's contradictory statements and the legal controversies surrounding him continue to spark debates and satirical commentary, as evidenced by Fallon's recent segment on "The Tonight Show."
