-Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Welcome to "The Tonight Show."
[ Cheers and applause ] You're here.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for watching.
Well, guys, this is nice.
Earlier tonight, the Bidens hosted
the president of South Korea and his wife
for a state dinner at the White House.
Yeah, Biden wanted to meet with the most powerful people
in South Korea, but BTS was busy, so...
[ Applause ]
But the state dinner was fun.
The South Korean president was nodding off
because of the jet lag, and Biden was nodding off
because it was 6:00 p.m. and that's late, late.
I saw that the guests were served Maryland crabcake,
fennel and cucumber slaw, and a yellow squash soup.
Yeah.
Then, like every other fancy meal,
everyone hit up a McDonald's immediately after.
"Let me get a quarter pounder. Starving."
Well, people are talking about this.
Today, Disney filed a lawsuit against
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
for waging a "relentless campaign
to weaponize government power" against the company. Yeah.
In an official statement,
the head of Disney's legal team said...
[ Donald Duck voice ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow. Thank God.
Thank you very much, Donald.
-[ As Donald Duck ] Go duck yourself.
-Oh.
[ Cymbal plays ] -Duck. Duck.
-Go duck my-- -Go duck yourself.
-Yeah.
-DeSantis will be represented by the Florida attorney general,
while Disney will be represented by She-Hulk, attorney at law.
Disney hadn't hasn't taken a politician to court
since they sued John Bolton for copyright infringement.
[ Laughter ]
Geppetto.
Speaking of Florida governor,
apparently former President Trump is listening to insiders
who are urging him to make DeSantis his running mate.
[ Audience groans ]
I have a feeling adding DeSantis to the ticket
will be like adding Mentos to Diet Coke.
You know?
Meanwhile, I read that Trump is threatening
to skip the Republican presidential debates.
Trump was like,
[ As Trump ] "As people keep telling me,
I have the right to remain silent."
[ Laughter ]
"A lot of people telling me that."
A Republican debate without Trump?
Even C-SPAN2 was like, "Pass."
But right now, Trump has a lot going on.
He's got a new book, he's on the campaign trail,
and he's still under investigation.
So to find out how Trump's feeling about everything,
he actually agreed to join us for an interview.
So let's ask him a few questions right now.
Mr. Trump, thanks for doing this.
-Jimmy Kimmel.
[ Laughter ]
-Close enough. Now, you --
You've got a new book out called "Letters to Trump."
How much of your book did you actually read?
-Like a page or two pages.
-Okay. Okay.
The book has a lot of letters
from famous people like Oprah and King Charles.
What would you say is your favorite letter?
-The letter C.
[ Laughter ]
-Now, your your reelection campaign is in full swing.
What do you think Americans say when they think about a rematch
between you and Biden?
-I want to vape.
[ Laughter ]
-Wow.
-Uh, okay.
Well, Biden is leading you among women, independents and seniors.
Is there anywhere that you've been leading Biden?
-Arrests.
-Okay.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, you've talked a lot about all of your successes.
Can you give us two examples of things
that you could have done better?
-Don Jr.
and Eric.
-Oh.
[ Applause ]
-Back to the election.
Do you think that you can beat DeSantis?
-Oh, yeah, sure, sure.
[ Laughter ]
-Do you think you can spell "DeSantis"?
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[ Applause ]
-Finally, before you go,
can you do an impression of someone
whose dentures are falling out of their mouth?
-[ Slurred ] God bless the United States.
-There you go. I appreciate it.
Thank you very much for joining us, President Trump.
Thank you very much.
Nice of him.
Well, get this, guys.
Today, a congressman from Oklahoma
brought Ronald McDonald and Grimace to the Capitol.
Here's a photo.
Yeah, quite a fall from grace
for Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon.
But hey, you know, a gig is a gig.
A gig's a gig.
When Trump saw Ronald McDonald was there,
he was like, "I'm storming the Capitol.
Let's go!"
Well, guys, let's switch gears.
I love the springtime, all the nature.
Let's just go around and say what we love most about spring.
I'll start.
For me, I love the --

-Moving on.
Well, this is wild.
Ahead of his coronation,
a life-sized chocolate bust of King Charles has been unveiled.
Take a look at this thing.
Yeah, yeah. -Oh.
-They stopped at the shoulders because they were like,
"I think this is creepy enough."
[ Laughter ]
Hey, guys, did you see this?
Beats is launching new transparent earbuds.
Here's my advice.
If you drop one, move on with your life.
Not gonna find it.
[ Applause ] Move on.
And finally, there's a new smart device
called Companion that babysits your dog
by entertaining it, feeding it and monitoring its health.
Yep. There's also a cheaper option.
It's called not having a dog.
