“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon took Donald Trump to task Tuesday in response to the former president’s claim that he’d have scored a better seat than President Joe Biden at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. But he believes Biden would agree with Trump in one respect: “Whether it’s funerals or classified documents, location is everything.”
In his evening’s monologue, Fallon set the scene by noting that President Biden was seated in the 14th row for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on Monday, a fact which Trump hasn’t let slide on his personal Truth Social account.
“Former president Trump noticed, and he said, ‘If I were president, they wouldn’t have sat me back there,’” Fallon read before joking: “Yeah, at funerals, Trump demands to be seated directly on top of the coffin or he won’t show up.”
‘I’ve gotta be right there,’” the host added, putting on his Trump impression. “‘I don’t care if it’s open or closed.’”
After joking that Biden’s seat was made even worse, considering he was stuck behind one of the palace guards with the big fuzzy hats, Fallon then turned his attention back to the former president and his comments.
“That wasn’t all Trump had to say about where Biden was seated,” Fallon began. “He also said, ‘In Real Estate, like in Politics and in Life, LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!!’”
Giving a beat, the host tied Trump’s comments on the funeral to the current Department of Justice investigation on the Trump Administration’s handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Closing the bit, Fallon said, “Biden was like, ‘He’s right! Whether it’s funerals or classified documents, location is everything. You’re correct, it is everything.’”
