‘Fuller-House’ Cast Tells Donald Trump It’s Okay To Lose
The 2016 presidential election has taken turns that many might not have expected. In an attempt for a little comedic relief and to almost mock the fact that Donald Trump is running for President of the United States, Jimmy Fallon along with the cast of Netflix’s “Fuller House,” came together for a skit that might just have you rolling with laughter.
