Read our privacy policy Donald Trump told US talk show host Jimmy Fallon to “be a man” and stop “whimpering” about the backlash he received for ruffling the then-presidential candidate’s hair when he was a guest on the Tonight Show. Fallon told the Hollywood Reporter that he “made a mistake” during the September 2016 episode, when he asked to mess up the US president's famous blonde combover. Taking to Twitter to respond, Mr Trump said that Fallon was "now whimpering to all that he did the famous ‘hair show’ with me, & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have ‘humanized’ me-he is taking heat." The organisation last week raised more than $18m through a Facebook crowdfunding campaign to help migrants currently detained at the US border due to the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” illegal immigration policy.
