Donald Trump says he thinks his first debate with Hillary Clinton should forgo a moderator because he’s afraid that his foes are “trying to game the system” by pressuring NBC’s Lester Holt to be tough on him.
Appearing Thursday night on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Trump suggests that the criticism drawn by Matt Lauer for his stint as host of a televised forum earlier this month will lead Holt to be tougher on him than Clinton.
Lauer’s performance has been widely panned as easy on Trump and tough on Clinton.
Trump joked that he is “looking to make a lot less money” in changing jobs to become president.
The billionaire businessman engaged in a relaxed banter with Fallon during his appearance Thursday night.

When Fallon asked if Trump had ever played the board game Sorry, Trump quipped that he preferred Monopoly.
When Fallon asked about getting sick, Trump knocked on Fallon’s wooden desk and praised his good fortune in staying healthy. The health of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, has been in the news since she announced she had suffered recently from pneumonia.
And when Fallon thanked Trump for providing comic fodder, the Republican nominee said he was “not trying to” say outrageous things.

Wish all could realize that Trump, in spite of financial status, is actually more like most of the people in USA than Hillary could ever be. He is a person with a sense of humor and says what he is THINKING without looking at the possible “problem” politically. It is time we honed down on those “politicians” whose main goals are the fame and money that can come from getting more power as a “politician.” VOTE TRUMP.
Catlady, speaks the truth
Oh yes she does. Right on!!????????????????????????????????????Trump
Trump is the “real deal” folks, he has a great since of humor, I love this guy, he is GREAT, fellow Americans!!!!
Wake up USA. Trump is the best and only candidate for 2016. He really does want the USA to be great again. Without Trump will have nothing. Think about our future generations, they deserve to have a great country again. If any other USA person was less than half as corrupt as the Clintons’ they would have been in jail long ago. It is time for the Clintons to pay for all the crimes they have done.
The big house (incarceration) should be Killery’s next house…not the Whitehouse. God bless Trump and God bless the USA.
The only thing real about Trump is his antagonism and distain for working class folks. Don’t think so?? Ask any of the thousands that he put out of business and out of their homes through “re-negotiating” and “using the bankruptcy laws to [his] advantage.” He quips about taking a lower paid job but want to reduce the estate tax obligation on his family that would save his heirs BILLIONS. Folks, whose pocket would that come from?

Donald Trump has helped more people in one year than Hillary Clinton had helped in a lifetime! Ivanka, his daughter said that growing up from the time they were children, every morning, as her dad read the paper, cut out holes would appear in her dads newspaper. She later found out that as he would read in the morning anyone who was having difficulties or problems he could help, he would have his Secretary get in touch with them. He would bring them to his office and sit down and figure out a way to straighten things out for them! He has done this his whole life always behind closed doors. He is a good man and we should pray he becomes the next President of the United States!
Trump is sooo rich I don’t think he knows how rich he is…I think he could set down with anyone of us HARD Working Americans
and have a cold beer in our kitchen.He talks the talk and walks the walk !! He LOVES the people and wants all of us to have a piece
of the Pie.He will be a Great President.I can’t wait to give him my VOTE. Please” GOD” keep him safe…..like Trump says,their are people out there that want to destroy our country.”Donald” is going to Make America Great Again.I know he is going to be our next President,( but I think he is going to let us call him “Donald” if we get to meet him) I don’t think he likes titles.
Hillary came across as personable when she was on the Tonight Show. The appearance by Donald Trump may help soften the image we so often see of him being combative.
My 84 year old mother & I (65) LOVE TRUMP til the end of our time!
We can’t wait to go out and give TRUMP our loving vote!!!
Chambers Dictionary defines murder to include excessive and reprehensible killing, not legally murder.
How do 55.5m killings since Roe v Wade escape this definition of murder and save making Hillary, a leading advocate of grisly mass slaughter by abortion, any better than an accessory after the fact to mass murder and no better than the guys put on trial at Nuremberg?
Roe v Wade contains the seed of its own destruction. Its judges declared that they could not define the beginning of life, but that if it became proven Roe v Wade might fail.Today we have the science of embryology with all its textbooks banging the drum that life begins at conception. Is Hillary listening?. No, assassination is more convenient.
Then we have the cherry on the top. Hillary suffered, in her own words, a short circuit, in her mental confusion over her lies on national security.This was possibly enough to launch a Freudian slip over the unborn. She has referred to the “child” and also to the unborn person having no constitutional rights. Right on! We now have a person and only need a legal persona. Hillary speaks of a person without rights, like a subhuman Jew in Germany or a three fifths human slave under the Dredd Scott decision in USA.
Let’s go back to her use of “child”. Both in USA and UK a man attacking a pregnant woman and causing her to lose her “child” gets an extra sentence for that “child’s” loss.So now we have a child whose loss of life is punishable. It exists legally as a living child until it is killed.
A woman may not take thalidomide to ease morning sickness In case her child has no arms and legs. She is definitely less than sovereign over her own body. Why is it that these limbs are more important than the whole child, who can be brutally put to death at whim?
These last two issues proclaim the nonsense of abortion.
It is beyond time that all these issues were put on trial .
