Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday jabbed Donald Trump over the president’s astonishing reversal of his earlier pausing on all federal grants.

“It’s like Trump is being advised from the giant doll from ‘Squid Game,’” Fallon cracked, referencing the motion-sensing animatronic used during the show’s “Red Light, Green Light” game.

“Red light, green light, red light,” Fallon then joked, turning around a couple of times.
