Jimmy Fallon has said he will make a donation to an immigration group in Donald Trump’s name after the president told him to “be a man”.

The US leader hit out at the chat show host after Fallon confessed to the Hollywood Reporter that he was “devastated” by critics of his 2016 interview with Mr Trump, then a White House candidate, in which he playfully petted the politician’s hair.

Mr Trump tweeted that Fallon was “whimpering”, adding: “Be a man Jimmy!”

In response Fallon said he would make a donation to the Refugee and Immigrant Center For Education And Legal Services.

He wrote: "In honor of the President’s tweet I’ll be making a donation to RAICES in his name."
