Jimmy Kimmel called the former president “our own Triple Clown winner” in his Monday night monologue.
“What is he talking about? Does he think the horse tested positive for Antifa?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“And honestly, if he’s going to start picking fights with horses, we should let him back on Twitter, because I want to see that.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“I just can’t stop laughing at the image of him at his desk writing about his thoughts about a horse by hand.” — JIMMY FALLON
“This was an official statement from the former president calling a horse a ‘junkie,’ as if it bought the drugs itself in some back alley, like it only got caught cause the horse’s parents found it in a shoe box under its bed — its stable?” — SETH MEYERS
“It is weird, though, to put this on the horse, right? I mean it’s not like the horse wants to take drugs or train all day or race around the track getting slapped on the ass — it’s a horse. It wants to do what horses want to do: D.J.” — TREVOR NOAH
“Yo, guys, I still can’t believe this guy was president. I mean this man is a legend. What other ex-president spends their time roasting horses?” — TREVOR NOAH
The Punchiest Punchlines (Straight from the Horse’s Mouth Edition)

“When he heard that, the horse is like, ‘Hey, you said that needle was the third Pfizer vaccine.” — JIMMY FALLON
“On the bright side, the horse has no idea what’s going on. He didn’t even know he was in a race, because he’s a horse.” — JAMES CORDEN
“Race organizers became suspicious when the horse kept telling people about his screenplay, and then going, ‘God, don’t you just want to dance?’” — JAMES CORDEN
“And the horse claimed it was just holding it for a friend.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Right now the horse is thinking, ‘As long as I’m being put out to stud, this sounds more like a you problem.’” — JIMMY FALLON
