Jimmy Fallon hosted Donald Trump for a softball interview Thursday on “The Tonight Show,” and social media users blasted the talk show host for trying to make the racist tycoon look like a regular guy.

I get that it's not Jimmy Fallon's job to tear down fascism but he had an opportunity and let it fly by so fuck him.

"Wow, Donald Trump went on Jimmy Fallon, acted cute, & let Jimmy mess up his hair! I guess that erases the years of Trump's hate speech!"

FALLON: what I'm really curious about: why is the mustache so small?
HITLER: ah Jimmy, ha ha
FALLON: it's like a little caterpillar! ha ha
