In a recent episode of the show The Tonight Show, the host Jimmy Fallon did not spare any words and gave a razor-sharp monologue about the latest geopolitical actions of President Donald Trump. The U.S. is commemorating its first sale of Venezuelan oil a colossal half a billion sell that was made possible by the recent intervention and Fallon has discovered a remarkably slippery connection to relate this to the foreign policy matters of the President and his scandals of personal health.
Since the capture of Nicolás Maduro to the ridiculous Greenland mission, the following is why the latest roast by Fallon has gone viral.
The 500 million slick: Oil vs the MRI Machine.
This week, the U.S. managed to offload its first consignment of oil that they had seized in the aftermath of Operation Absolute Resolve, the bold January 3, 2026, military strike that saw the seizing of Nicolás Maduro. Although the administration boasts of the $500 million windfall as a windfall to American energy, Fallon had a more personal utility of the crude.
Fallon apparently joked that the additional oil has helped Trump in and out of the MRI machine. The joke is a direct strike against the CT Scan vs. MRI controversy that has rocked the White House since the physical conducted on the President in October 2001. He was later reported in an interview with The Wall Street Journal clarifying to Trump that he had a CT scan instead of an MRI after the President boasted an absolutely perfect MRI.
The gaff has sparked the discussion about Presidential health disclosure once again, particularly, as Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella is pressured to provide more detailed information regarding the fitness of the 79-year-old leader.
The Greenland Annexation Obsession: Finish Your Venezuela First.
Fallon did not stop with medical jokes. He made fun of the President with his growing Greenland obsession with the Venezuelan battle. Only a few days ago, Representative Randy Fine presented the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, a radical bill that attempts to make the arctic land part of the 51 st states.
Although Danish PM Mette Frederiksen and the leaders of Greenland leader criticized the concept as absurd, the White House has insisted that the military action is always a possibility in stopping Russian or Chinese aggression.

Political Satire on Late-Night Television in the Era of Absolute Resolve.
The monologue by Fallon points to the changing tone of political satire in the late-night. With the Trump administration shifting its focus of threats to active military operations such as Operation Absolute Resolve, comedians are deriving comedy through sheer magnitude of what the President is trying to accomplish.
Whether it is the Green land 51 st State Bill, or the abrupt ownership of foreign oil reserves, the tonight show is making sure that even the most high stakes geopolitical situations receive the proverbial, and comic treatment they merit.
