One of the lesser victors of Super Tuesday was Jimmy Fallon, who will get to keep on doing his Donald Trump impression for at least nine more months, and maybe four or eight more years. On Wednesday's Tonight Show, Fallon's Trump declared victory for his Super Tuesday wins, including for some states he didn't carry, like Texas. "As for Oklahoma, look at it: It looks like a Trump wig that Texas is wearing, so I basically won there, too." Behind Trump was a cutout of New Jersey's governor, looking as sad as he had standing behind Trump Tuesday night.
"I want to thank Gov. Chris Christie for his unblinking support," Fallon's Trump said. "I love this guy — he's fantastic. He's like my mini-me, except bigger. He's my mega-me." He then took questions, which of course focused on Trump not rejecting the support of David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan. "I love the KKK," Fallon's Trump said. "Kim, Kourtney, Khloe — they're fantastic people, I've known them a long time." He was then asked about Marco Rubio. Fallon's Trump said he has bigger fish to fry — "Chris, that's a figure of speech," he told the suddenly visible Christie cutout — than Rubio, and that he called Hillary Clinton to inform her that she lost to a black man in 2008 and will lose to "an orange man in 2016 — that's right, orange is the new black." Watch Fallon take a victory lap below. Peter Weber
