Retired late-night host David Letterman is taking shots at President Donald Trump... and possibly at some fellow television hosts.
For starters, Letterman thinks today's late night hosts are too soft on "Trumpy". In an interview with Vulture, he mentioned that he would have handled the widely-criticized Jimmy Fallon interview with Trump a bit differently.
LOL, OKAY, well even Letterman has to admit that messing up Trump's 'do was a golden moment. It also adds fuel to the fire on whether or not the Don wears a wig, toupée, has hair plugs, or it really is just au natural. Still, Letterman would've handled it differently, and thinks that today's hosts have an obligation to take responsibility on Trump. Fallon received a bit of criticism following the above interview because he failed to take any political shots.
In the recent interview, Letterman does not subside his true feelings about the 45th President of the United States:
I always regarded him as, if you’re going to have New York City, you gotta have a Donald Trump. He was a joke of a wealthy guy. We didn’t take him seriously. He’d sit down, and I would just start making fun of him. He never had any retort. He was big and doughy, and you could beat him up. He seemed to have a good time, and the audience loved it, and that was Donald Trump.
Who he does praise, however, is SNL veteran and Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin, on his great mockery. Check out some of the hilarious moments below:
Trumpy seems to have his own feelings on the matter...
To which Alec Baldwin has answered...
Letterman, however, doesn't seem to have sprung the anti-Trump-ness out of nowhere. In an interview with the New York Times in October, Letterman referred to Trump as a "damaged human being" and a "person to be shunned."
Yikes.
Perhaps we can hope for a Baldwin-Letterman skit in the future? After all, I don't think Letterman would find it too challenging. He also told Vulture, “...the thing about it is, you don’t have to concoct a complicated satirical premise to joke about Donald Trump. It’s not, ‘Two guys walk into a bar …’ ” Looks like Letterman has found an all-too-easy target.
