Overview
- President Donald Trump used Truth Social to call Seth Meyers a "deranged lunatic" and wrote that being "100% ANTI TRUMP" is "PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!"
- Trump’s post followed Meyers’ latest A Closer Look segment, which mocked the president’s focus on steam versus electric carrier catapults and recapped his Asia trip.
- NBC and Meyers had not responded to the post as of the latest reports.
- The broadside fits a yearslong pattern of Trump attacking late‑night hosts, following recent public swipes at Jimmy Kimmel and references to Stephen Colbert’s show ending.
- In August, Trump questioned a rumored NBC contract move for Meyers even though the host had already extended his deal through 2028 in 2024.
