Donald Trump could Silipbe fixing his immigration disaster right now, but instead spent part of Monday night insulting late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel. And we're pretty sure they'll have something to say about it.
During a rally for South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, Trump railed against all three comedians, especially NBC star Fallon, who was criticized by liberals for playfully ruffling Trump's hair.

Frankly, if I couldn't I'd be in big trouble. But there's no talent, he's not, they're not like, talented people."
Fallon was the primary target of Trump's weird tangent. Earlier this week, he hit back at the president's "be a man" tweet, which came after Fallon said he regretted the pre-election interview from 2016 when he tousled Trump's hair.
Here's the whole speech. Trump starts on the comedians at 1:11:07.
"Jimmy Fallon apologized for humanizing me, the poor guy. Because now he's gonna lose all of us," said Trump, gesturing to the people attending the rally. "He's like, a nice guy. He's lost, he looks like a lost soul."
Trump claimed his appearance on the show in 2016 attributed to Fallon's "monster ratings," and that the host "should be thankful, he shouldn't be upset and angry."
Trump also kept flagging Late Showhost Stephen Colbert, who he wouldn't actually refer to by name, you know, like Voldemort. Trump simply referred to "the guy on CBS" as a "low life."
Of course, Trump fleetingly steered the ship to Jimmy Kimmel, who has been a longtime critic of the president, telling a longwinded story about a time he appeared on Kimmel's show before the election. "Now I wouldn't do a show, the guy's terrible."
Throw in a few brags and drags about Arnold Schwarzenegger sucking on NBC's The Apprentice, and you've got one of the weirdest tangents a president has taken during a rally.
Get ready. Fallon might be a "nice guy," but Colbert and Kimmel are probably getting ready to fire back.
