Jimmy Fallon<\/a> on Monday declared the Donald Trump<\/a> curse had struck again in Argentina\u2019s 1-0 loss to Spain in the World Cup<\/a> final. Then he took a bigger swipe at the president. (Watch the video below.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The \u201cTonight Show\u201d host explained that Trump had said before the match it was hard to bet against Argentine star Lionel Messi, dooming the defending champions to defeat just as he had other sports teams recently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cYep, Trump backed the Knicks<\/a> [in person at Game 3 of the NBA Finals]. They lost,\u201d Fallon said. \u201cTrump backed the U.S. men\u2019s [soccer] team. They lost<\/a>. Trump backed Messi<\/a>. He lost. At some point, Trump should try backing Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After some oohs, the comedian finished. \u201cAnd then we\u2019ll see, maybe, get this war over with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump\u2019s ongoing war against Iran that he started months ago is dragging on to the point where even a prominent Fox News host is practically telling him<\/a> to end the war \u2015 or the GOP could face electoral annihilation in the midterms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWith the midterm elections a little more than 100 days away, the clock is ticking for President Trump to get out of this war before voters head to the polls,\u201d Laura Ingraham said on Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s making a lot of Republicans<\/a> nervous. It\u2019s already, as we know, unpopular. According to the new Washington Post\/Ipsos poll<\/a>, 69% of Americans disapprove of the handling of this conflict. Republicans<\/a> cannot let this become an endless distraction, especially if they want to win in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jimmy Fallon on Monday declared the Donald Trump curse had struck again in Argentina\u2019s 1-0 loss to Spain in the World Cup final.
