Seth Meyers Is Absolutely Stunned By Donald Trump's Latest Spin
HuffPost
The "Late Night" comedian didn't buy the former president's claim.
Seth Meyers on Monday debunked Donald Trump and his allies’ spin that it’s the former president’s campaign — and not that of Democratic rival Kamala Harris — that is bringing the joy in the 2024 election.
Trump has claimed he is “leading a movement of optimism and confidence and hope.”
A stunned Meyers wasn’t buying it, and contrasted the GOP nominee’s boast with his increasingly authoritarian and divisive rhetoric.
As an example, the “Late Night” host aired a montage of Eric Trump, Trump’s son, boasting about the “total love” and “absolute love” of his father’s MAGA “movement.”
In the supercut, Eric Trump claimed multiple times that he’d received hugs from total strangers. Some, he said, parroting a line from his dad, had tears in their eyes.
The veteran strategist also made a 2024 election prediction about Florida.
The longtime Trump ally went to prison after refusing to comply with the Jan. 6 congressional committee. Now he’s facing conspiracy, fraud and money laundering charges.
Critics asked, "Is that a threat?"
The former president spelled out what "real strength" means to him and the GOP nominee's version definitely wasn't it.
The "Daily Show" host then focused on the part of the rally that should be getting more attention.
Ryan Girdusky was kicked off the air for comments directed at Mehdi Hasan.
The chair of Puerto Rico’s Republican Party also said he would not support the former president without an apology over a comedian's insults at a Trump rally.
The vice presidential candidate said he hadn’t heard a comedian's offensive remark about Puerto Rico, which has rocked the Trump campaign.
"Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico 'dirty' and 'poor,'" the singer griped amid uproar over racist jokes at a Trump rally. "But I was not surprised."
