“That’s Homer Simpson": Fallon jokes about Donald Trump on his“Who said it" segment featuring cartoon characters

Jimmy Fallon reportedly mocked Donald Trump on his show's “Who said it” segment featuring cartoon characters, where he humorously pointed out The Simpsons character Homer Simpson after the statement:

"It's money that makes the world go round, boy."

The joke was made during the game in which Trump's statements were compared with famous animated voices, and Fallon used the playful segment to highlight the contrast between political remarks and cartoon dialogue. In the game, one has to answer who said the statements, Trump or a cartoon character.

Homer Simpson is often linked with Trump because both have overlapping personality traits and a popular storyline connection inside the Simpsons universe. According to the Los Angeles Times, Trump's strong belief in tariffs was compared to a famous episode where Homer bought a gun and treated it like a tool for everything, from protecting his house to opening beer bottles.

Fallon mocked Donald Trump on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy made fun of Donald Trump and humorously pointed out,

“That’s Homer Simpson.”

The statement was made after Homer Simpson from The Simpsons said,

"It's money that makes the world go round, boy."

Fallon created a political satire by connecting Homer's blunt statement about money with Trump's public persona. Homer's dialogue meant that financial power is the ultimate force, and Fallon wanted to connect the meaning to Trump's current political and financial power.

Fallon highlighted how Trump's rhetoric could sound cartoonishly exaggerated, almost as if it belongs in a satirical animated universe. Fallon wanted to show that Trump's public image often mirrors the kind of truths that The Simpsons had shown to the audience for decades.

Why is Donald Trump often compared with The Simpsons characters?

Trump is often compared to characters from The Simpsons because the animated series had predicted his presidency years before it happened and continued to reflect his bold and exaggerated personality in its stories.

Elizabeth Grenier from the website DW mentioned that in the episode Bart to the Future, the showrunners imagined a future where Donald Trump had already served as President of the United States. This was mentioned after Lisa became the first female president and experienced a serious financial crisis, with the line,

"As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump."

Later, many conspiracy theorists mixed up this early prediction with another episode titled Trumptastic Voyage. The episode launched in July 2015 after Trump announced his presidential candidacy. This confusion led some people to believe that The Simpsons had directly forecast his rise, even though the two episodes were created in a very different context.
