Overview
- Meyers addressed Trump’s Saturday post on Monday night’s Late Night, answering the claim that his show is '100% ANTI-TRUMP' and 'PROBABLY ILLEGAL.'
- He ran a supercut of Trump discussing aircraft-carrier catapults, including remarks from last week’s appearance aboard the USS George Washington in Japan.
- The host joked that Trump, not he, is fixated on catapults and mocked the president’s description of electric systems as 'stupid' compared with steam.
- Meyers highlighted contradictions in Trump’s viewing claims by noting the president recently said he was 'stuck' watching the show despite also claiming he hadn’t seen it in years.
- He framed the online attacks as theater distracting from governance issues such as an unresolved government shutdown and food assistance funding, and coverage placed the exchange in Trump’s broader pattern of targeting late-night hosts, including past digs at Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.
