Jimmy Fallon Takes on Trump’s Military Plans Breach in Monologue

During the latest episode of “The Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon delved into the political arena as he addressed the recent scandal involving the Trump administration’s breach of military plans over the messaging platform Signal. The gravity of the situation was not lost on Fallon, who expressed his disbelief at the mismanagement displayed throughout the incident.

Fallon particularly highlighted the absurdity of the event, making a comparison to some of the notorious personalities that populated Donald Trump’s initial term. He suggested that the level of incompetence exhibited in this situation was reminiscent of the more chaotic moments from that period.

Reflecting on the matter, Fallon remarked that such a lapse in protocol would not have occurred had Joe Biden been in charge, humorously adding that it was due to Biden’s unfamiliarity with texting.

To provide context, the issue originated when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was unintentionally added to a group chat on Signal consisting of several Trump officials, including Secretary of State Pete Hegseth. Within this chat, classified military plans were reportedly discussed, adding fuel to the fire of political scrutiny. For those wanting a deeper understanding of the scandal, further information is readily available.

In a nod to the ongoing crisis management efforts from the White House, Fallon noted that the reporter who uncovered the story had shared screenshots from the chat, revealing the embarrassing detail that some messages appeared in green. This detail humorously pointed out that some participants were using Android devices instead of iPhones, a clear jab at the preference for Apple products among many high-profile figures.

“Who knew we’d missed the more competent days of Omarosa and Rudy Giuliani,” Fallon quipped. He reiterated the point that such an incident would not have transpired under Biden, joking that the president’s lack of texting skills would have prevented it entirely.

Additionally, Fallon humorously suggested, “Trump held an emergency meeting to decide what scandal he’s going to introduce to make this scandal go away,” showcasing the relentless cycle of controversy that often envelops Trump’s tenure.

There is certainly more to unpack from Fallon’s comedic take on this unfolding situation, and viewers can catch the full segment below.
