Republican frontrunner Donald Trump made his first appearance on a late night show on Friday when he joined host Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s Tonight Show.
Trump appeared in a sketch with Fallon and then later participated in a short interview.
The sketch featured Fallon impersonating Trump into a mirror where, in lieu of a reflection, the actual Republican frontrunner appeared. The two then engaged in a humorous dialogue between fake Trump and real Trump.
In the sketch, the two discussed Trump’s jobs plan, where he would create jobs just “by doing it” as well as Trump’s opinion that actor Gary Busey was not a potential vice-president and instead “more supreme court material” (Trump suggested Kanye West instead as a potential running mate).
In the interview, Trump spoke about his candidacy, which he said was drawing support because “people are tired in this country of being ripped off, seeing poor things happen”. Instead, the Republican frontrunner thought, “we have to become rich again and we’re going to become great again”.
Trump also described the wall he hopes to build on the US’s border with Mexico as “a great wall ... a beautiful wall”.
The real estate mogul also described his philosophy about apologies. Trump told Fallon when asked if he ever apologized, “apologizing is a great thing but you have to be wrong”. Trump added “I will apologize sometime in the hopefully distant future if I’m ever wrong.”
