The torch burns between US President Donald Trump and the host of the Tonight Show , Jimmy Fallon.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter , the comedian and host expressed last week regret for ruffling, in the middle of the election campaign, the platinum cap of the President of the United States. The interview would have helped to humanize the then candidate in the presidential election. The host, who was criticized for the interview, says he would do things differently today.
Hostilities were launched.
Jimmy Fallon's comments have (obviously) upset the tenant of the White House who, you guessed it, turned to Twitter to settle accounts with the famous host.

"Jimmy Fallon now complains to everyone that he did the show on my hair with me (which really messed me up) and said he would now do things differently because the show would have had the effect of "humanising" me and that it was strongly criticized. Behave like a man, Jimmy! "
That's not all.
On Monday, when he opened his late-night show, the host responded to the US president, whom he described as the "number one fan of the show".
"As you may know, the President of the United States attacked me last night on Twitter," said Fallon. So Melania, if you're listening, I do not think your anti-bullying campaign works. "
"When I saw that Trump had insulted me on Twitter, I thought I'd answer him immediately, but then I said I had more important things to do."
"Then, I asked myself," Wait, HE should not have more important things to do, he's the president, what are you doing, why are you sending me messages on Twitter ? ' "

In honor of the presidential tweet, Jimmy Fallon also announced Sunday that he had donated, on behalf of Donald Trump, to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, a non-profit organization that provides legal services refugees.
