Seth Meyers Rebuts Trump On-Air After 'Probably Illegal' Attack

Meyers framed the Truth Social outburst as a diversion from the shutdown fight over threatened SNAP benefits.

Overview

  • On Nov. 3, the NBC host addressed Trump's weekend post calling him a "truly deranged lunatic" and "100% ANTI TRUMP."
  • Meyers aired a supercut of Trump repeatedly discussing aircraft-carrier catapults, countering the claim that Meyers "talked endlessly" about them.
  • He invoked the First Amendment to reject Trump's suggestion that his anti-Trump jokes are "probably illegal."
  • The segment highlighted Trump's conflicting claims about how recently he watched Late Night and his repeated posts about a White House bathroom renovation.
  • Reports place the exchange within a continuing pattern of the president targeting late-night hosts including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon.
