Yahoo Lifestyle Jimmy Fallon’s Blistering Barb At Donald Trump Gets Extended Laughs
Jimmy Fallon wasn’t impressed with President Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed “Liberation Day” of global tariffs. (Watch the video below.)
Trump on Wednesday announced a minimum 10% tax on all foreign imports, with places like China and the European Union getting dinged far more.

Fast-forward to the :40 mark for Fallon’s “Liberation Day” segment:
