Seth Meyers Reveals 'The 1 Thing' Trump Has Admired His 'Entire Life'
HuffPost
The "Late Night" host named the decades-old obsession after the former president claimed he hasn't read "Mein Kampf."
Seth Meyers broke down Donald Trump’s “admiration for dictators” following the former president’s defense of his anti-immigrant “poisoning the blood” rant in remarks that have been condemned as echoing the rhetoric of Adolf Hitler.
The “Late Night” host, on Thursday, took “a closer look” at the former president’s past after he went to bat for the comments and claimed he’s never read “Mein Kampf.”
Meyers pointed to a 1990 interview with Playboy magazine where Trump praised China’s massacre of pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square.
“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength,” said Trump in an interview recently cited by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
“That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak.”
