Donald Trump Makes Rash Claim About ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’ in Latest Late-Night Attack
President Donald Trump is putting aside his screeds against Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel to take aim at another late-night TV target: Late Night With Seth Meyers and its namesake host. And he’s even claiming that Seth Meyers being “100% anti-Trump” is “probably illegal.”
“Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to ‘perform’ live in the history of television,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday, November 1. “In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise.”
In his rant, the former star of The Apprentice said he had watched Late Night “for the first time in years” and caught Meyers’ segment on Trump’s recent pontifications about aircraft carrier technology.
“He talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic,” Trump wrote. “Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? – NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”
Trump previously called Meyers and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon “two total losers” in a Truth Social post last month as he said Kimmel had “zero talent” and claimed Jimmy Kimmel Live! had worse ratings than Colbert, “if that’s possible.”
Previously, in July, Trump said NBC had “terrible” programming and “even worse” management and accused the network of being “an arm of the Democrat Party,” along with ABC, as he called for those networks’ broadcasting licenses to be revoked.
And in August, Trump said ABC and NBC were “two of the worst and most biased networks in history” and told followers that the networks covered his presidency with “97% BAD STORIES,” in his assertion.
Then the president went all-caps in his ire: “IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC,” he wrote. “I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!!”
Late Night With Seth Meyers, 12:35a/11:35c, NBC

Ah yes, just what a so called president SHOULD be doing. Talk about snowflake. If "you" CAN'T handle a late night COMEDY show, making fun of you, RESIGN. Heck, if "you" can't handle ANY late night show making fun of you, get OUT of public service altogether. (This would include, the president of your country, the mayor of your city or town, or the governor of your state. As well as the chief of police and the head fire marshal.) In short, ANYONE in public service.

So that logic applies to Liberal Left Democrats to right ? The reason I ask is you make it sound like President Trump is the Only politician that responds to some very ugly, malicious, cruel, and some times down right Evil comments and portrayals that You call Comedy. Also the same type of attacks in the name of “Comedy” against his family as well. I was just wondering if Liberal Democrats should resign if THEY get upset about similar comedic issues ? Because IF your logic applies across the board to Everyone there would be Allot of vacant positions occupied in the past and currently by Democrats. But I have a feeling that if your logic were a reality you’d want it applied to Only President Trump and/or members of the GOP. But that’s the typical Liberal mindset do as We Say not as We Do. And if it’s something painful to US it should be stopped immediately, but it’s great as long as it’s Trump or GOP or Conservatives in general. The Truth is these “Comedians” with their very fragile egos wouldn’t last 5 minutes if placed under the pressure and heat President Trump has to deal with almost 24/7. Yet you think he’s a snowflake. That’s So rich and so hypocritical.

Trump should really give his rant against late night hosts a rest. At least he hasn't criticized anyone from "SNL" yet though I'm sure that may change soon!

Oh and President Trump is right in a number of ways about the steam driven catapults being better than electric catapults which Yes would be much more expensive and far less dependable. Meyers flapping his gums about things he doesn’t know anything about. Course Lib Leftists do that allot.

Maybe President Trump should be over in Europe Apologizing for American Arrogance or Bowing down before the Saudis King both of these wonderful gestures must have been why Obama got the Nobel Peacd Prize. No one can really figure out Why. ALL President Trump has done is negotiated peace between EIGHT different countries at War with each other, Two of which were Nuclear powers. He Also stymied ( hopefully stopped forever but that’s doubtful ) Iran’s quest to build nuclear weapons including intercontinental nuclear missiles for years to come. Numerous other very positive things he’s done for our country in Spite Of constant blocking by Radical Rogue Leftists Judges trying to Create Law instead of Interpret it as their job is supposed to be and of course Dem politicians and Liberal Dem private entities like Soros, Cuban, Bloomberg to name a few. Actually in view of the ocean of Hate he faces daily and threats to his life and his families he’s done and is doing an Extraordinary job !! These so called Comedians are just nuisances like a common house fly just swat em away.
