Donald Trump appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday evening, and the Republican Presidential candidate let the show's host get up close and person with Trump's most famous asset—his hair.

Towards the end of the interview, Fallon asked Trump if they could do something "unpresidential," and proceeded to mess up The Donald's 'do.

While Trump seemed to take it all in good fun on camera, he was less lighthearted backstage. The Associated Press reported that he prohibited photographers from taking shots of him after the taping.

Not everyone was thrilled at Fallon's use of his time with the controversial candidate, considering it a way to humanize (or, in Trump terminology, "soften") the image of a candidate whose stances and statements have frequently been called racist and who has often been caught lying in public statements.

Awww Jimmy Fallon ruffled Trump's hair and then goofed around with him for ten minutes. What a funny, adorable response to fascism!

I don't fault Jimmy Fallon for not being a journalist. I do fault him for his willingness to serve as hell's court jester.

Trump supporters, on the other hand, had fun and wondered what all the fuss was about.

People are mad as hell because Jimmy Fallon...a "funny" man on late night tv was respectable and fun to a person they dislike?? REALLY????
