Overview
- Trump posted on Truth Social that Meyers suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” called him untalented, and urged NBC to fire him immediately.
- FCC chair Brendan Carr reshared Trump’s post on X without comment, drawing objections from journalists, policy figures, and some conservatives who questioned a regulator elevating the demand.
- NBC and Meyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment after the posts circulated.
- Meyers’ recent segments mocked Trump over polling, H‑1B remarks, and newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails, which House Oversight Democrats published this week; Trump dismissed the Epstein focus as a hoax.
- The episode extends a pattern of presidential attacks on late‑night hosts and follows Carr’s earlier warnings over Jimmy Kimmel, renewing debate over the FCC’s authority and the broadcast public‑interest standard.
