Jimmy Fallon humorously addressed President Trump’s milestone 80th birthday, which coincides with America’s 250th anniversary celebration at the White House. Fallon quipped that Trump is the only octogenarian shouting, ‘Get on my lawn!’ In jest, Fallon noted that Trump’s birthday wish was for ‘Peace for the world,’ before humorously suggesting he returned to constructing a massive boxing ring at the White House.
Fallon also made light of Trump’s attendance at a U.F.C. event, jesting that it offers him a change of pace from sleeping indoors at sporting events to outdoors. Fellow host Jimmy Kimmel remarked on the U.F.C. CEO Dana White’s assurance that the event will proceed despite the weather, humorously noting the improbability of divine intervention at the White House.

Desi Lydic offered further comedic commentary, contrasting the significance of a U.F.C. fight with the lofty goal of peace in the Middle East, drawing a humorous parallel to Franklin Roosevelt missing the end of World War II for WrestleMania.
