Overview
- On Monday's The Tonight Show, Fallon aired a montage of clips showing President Trump stumbling over names including Venezuela, Namibia, Tanzania, Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates and even the United States.
- The bit argued that frequent mispronunciations undercut the president's increasingly forceful language on foreign affairs and his openness to using military power abroad.
- Fallon folded in a dentist gag for levity, imagining a visit ending with, "I think you need a crown," before a punchline about Trump's response.
- Coverage notes Trump's renewed talk of the U.S. "owning" or purchasing Greenland and reports he has not ruled out using force to annex the territory.
- Greenland's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, reiterates that Greenlanders prefer closer ties with Denmark rather than becoming part of the United States, and no policy change is reported.
