President Trump Calls Out 'Late Night' Host Seth Meyers for Mocking Him
President Donald Trump has taken aim at 'Late Night' host Seth Meyers, accusing him of being 'deranged' for mocking his recent trip to Asia. In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump lashed out at Meyers, calling him the 'least talented person to 'perform' live in the history of television' and suggesting he may be the 'WORST to perform, live or otherwise'.
Trump's criticism came in response to Meyers' jokes about his trip, including a mockery of his interest in catapults on aircraft carriers. During the trip, Trump addressed troops in Japan and declared his intention to issue an executive order to restore the use of steam-powered catapults. However, Meyers joked that Trump spends too much time thinking about catapults, comparing him to Wile E. Coyote.
Trump's response to Meyers' jokes was not the first time he has criticized the comedian. In August, when NBC renewed Meyers' contract, Trump criticized his ratings, talent, and intelligence, calling him 'the personality of an insecure child'.
Meyers, like many other late-night hosts, has not shied away from criticizing Trump. He has been known for his sharp wit and ability to tackle controversial topics, often pushing back against the president's policies and statements. Despite Trump's criticism, Meyers continues to be a prominent voice in late-night comedy, offering a unique perspective on current events and political issues.
