Jimmy Fallon Delivers Message to Donald Trump on Last Night's TONIGHT SHOW

Jimmy Fallon responded to the President's tweets toward him last night in his opening monologue on The Tonight Show.

Watch Jimmy's opening monologue here! See below for a transcript!

Before we begin, I just wanna give a shout out to our show's number one fan - the President of the United States!

As you may have heard, last night, the President of the United States went after me on Twitter. So Melania, if you're watching, I don't think your anti-bullying campaign is working.

When I saw that Trump insulted me on Twitter, I was gonna tweet back immediately, but I thought, "I have more important things to do." Then I thought, "Wait - shouldn't HE have more important things to do?" (He's the president! What are you doing? Why are you tweeting at me?!)

But this is a real tweet from the president. He wrote...

"@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous "hair show" with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have "humanized" me-he is taking heat. He called & said "monster ratings." Be a man Jimmy!"

That's real. It's crazy. The president went after me on Twitter. It's pretty much the only thing I have in common with NFL players.

Well, in response, I made a donation in Trump's name to the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, or "RAICES." When Trump heard, he was like, "I love RAICES - they're my favorite peanut butter cup." (There's no wrong way to eat a RAICES."

Let's get to some REAL NEWS here. A new poll found that 58 percent of Americans think President Trump is intelligent. In response, Trump was like, "Ok, what did the other 58 percent say?"

And today at the White House, Trump met with the King and Queen of Jordan. Which got awkward when Trump thanked the King of Jordan for giving us Michael.

Oh, this is a big story. This weekend, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a restaurant in Virginia. It turns out the server asked her what she wanted as an appetizer, and out of habit, she refused to answer.

Actually, the president responded on Twitter to the restaurant, which is called the Red Hen. Again, this is real. Trump tweeted...

"The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!"

So, if you've ever read a Yelp review and thought, "Who's got the time to write this?" The answer is: the President of the United States.

Oh, this is cool. Meghan Markle has become the first member of the Royal family to be nominated for a Teen Choice Award. And not to be outdone, the Queen has announced she's doing an album with Migos.

And finally, I wanna say congrats to "Fixer Upper" hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines, who just welcomed a new baby boy! They're thrilled, and said that after a few weeks of raising him, they'll flip him for an even better baby.

"The Tonight Show" returned to its New York origins when "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" made its broadcast debut from Studio 6B in Rockefeller Center. Emmy Award- and Grammy Award-winning comedian Jimmy Fallon brings a high-tempo energy to the storied NBC franchise with his welcoming interview style, love of audience participation, spot-on impersonations and innovative sketches.

An American television institution for almost 60 years, "The Tonight Show" continues to be a home to big-name celebrity guests and a stage for top musical and comedic talent. Taking a cue from his unforgettable predecessors, including hosts Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Fallon carrys on the tradition that audiences know and love - kicking off every show with the iconic "Tonight Show" monologue.
