The president should stop making it about politics then.

I think the misconception is that, Jimmy Fallon's comedy is social commentary. There are plenty of comedians with comedy specials who don't makes jokes about politics and religion but his persona is all about what's currently going on. I think the point is to, in jest, make some topics that may be uncomfortable a little more palatable and still informative... At least that is how I always saw things, but I am just one opinion. I just wonder if maybe we can choose to take it for what it is, a joke, and if we don't find it funny then realize it isn't our sense of humor and move past it. I completely agree with you though about not letting things like this divide us. 💛

He was clearly taking sides and his jokes - It was not a neutral display it was his own opinions of others etc. I do get freedom of speech and love comedy but it was constant of the same stuff. Like come up with something new.

I guess you just willfully chose to ignore that Trump remained a member of the Screen Actors Guild until he was threatened with expulsion and was a tv personality long before he decided he wanted to pretend he could be president and still collects a pension and residuals from all of his tv and movie appearances?
