00:00Jimmy Fallon uses Taylor Swift to roast Trump. His mind is a blank space.
00:05Donald Trump has sparked a war with late-night television.
00:08Jimmy Fallon has become the latest host to use their platform to lampoon the president,
00:13highlighting issues like his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
00:17Ahead of Trump's peace summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska,
00:21Fallon cleverly incorporated Taylor Swift songs to roast him,
00:24much to RadarOnline.com's revelation.
00:26The Tonight Show team prepared by analyzing internet search trends,
00:30ensuring the material resonated with audiences.
00:33Fallon's opening monologue critiqued Trump through Swift's lyrics,
00:37suggesting ties to Epstein.
00:39He quipped,
00:40For a long time, Trump looked at Putin and thought,
00:42You belong with me, and when the people warned him to steer clear,
00:45he would just shake it off.
00:47Fallon says Trump's mind is a blank space.
00:51Fallon earned a roaring laugh from the audience
00:52when he said Americans were concerned Trump wasn't ready
00:55to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine with Putin,
00:58since his mind is basically a giant blank space.
01:01Fallon then threw shade at the president
01:03and his well-documented friendship with the late convicted pedophile,
01:06all while naming some of the pop billionaire's biggest hits.
01:10He told the audience,
01:11Also, he's distracted by the Epstein scandal.
01:13He'll tell Putin it's been a cruel summer
01:15because everyone thinks I did something bad,
01:18but I swear everyone on the island was 22.
01:20The stunned crowd could be heard reacting,
01:23Ooh, when Fallon crossed the line.
01:26Swift's Democratic Support
01:27Of course, Fallon's use of Swift song titles to troll the president
01:32was particularly rich,
01:34given Trump famously said he hates the singer
01:36and has a long history beefing with her.
01:38Swift has been a vocal supporter of Democratic causes and candidates,
01:42notably backing Kamala Harris in 2024.
01:46She defended her support of Phil Bredesen over Marsha Blackburn
01:49in her documentary Miss Americana,
01:52labeling Blackburn Trump in a wig.
01:54Swift regretted not opposing Trump in 2016.
01:58When asked about Swift endorsing Bredesen,
02:00Trump quipped,
02:01I'm sure Taylor Swift knows nothing
02:02and doesn't know anything about Blackburn.
02:04I like Taylor's music about 25% less now.
02:07Okay.
02:08Despite Swift criticizing Trump's policies during his first term
02:11and endorsing Joe Biden in 2020,
02:14Trump said the 14-time Grammy winner
02:16wouldn't endorse Harris in 2024
02:18because he made her so much money.
02:21He released AI-generated images of Swift endorsing her campaign,
02:25prompting her public support for Harris.
02:27After Swift denounced these images,
02:29Trump threatened repercussions.
