In the world of late-night comedy, Seth Meyers has become a master of dissecting the latest antics of former President Donald Trump. This week, Meyers took on Trump's social media posts, photo ops, and even his coffee habits, offering a hilarious and insightful take on the former president's recent activities.
Trump's World Cup Take
Meyers began by addressing Trump's comments on the World Cup, where he criticized players for not working hard enough. "It's like he's never seen a sporting event before," Meyers quipped. He pointed out the irony of Trump thanking Rudy Giuliani's son for organizing the tournament in the US, considering the event's massive global appeal. "It's not like he single-handedly sold out the World Cup final," Meyers added with a laugh.
Wildfire Blame Game
The comedian then turned his attention to Trump's social media post about the Canadian wildfires, where he claimed the cost was "incalculable." Meyers suggested that Trump might not have written that post himself, implying that the former president's understanding of the situation was likely superficial. "He's more concerned with finding someone to blame than actually helping," Meyers speculated.
Ronaldo Envy
Trump's desire to switch places with Cristiano Ronaldo for a month also drew Meyers' scrutiny. "'Or longer,' yelled Melania," Meyers joked, imagining the former First Lady's reaction. He went on to mock Trump's claim that Ronaldo doesn't work as hard as him, suggesting that the physical demands of soccer might be lost on the former president.
Coffee and Convenience
Meyers also addressed the American Heart Association's claim that five cups of coffee a day is safe, using it as an opportunity to poke fun at Trump's sleep habits. He showed a picture of Trump sleeping, suggesting that perhaps he should start with one cup of coffee first. Additionally, a study on eating habits in cars provided another lighthearted moment, with Meyers commenting, "Tapas in the car? Not the best idea."
Guinness World Record and Jimothy
Finally, Meyers brought up the German man who broke the Guinness World Record for popping balloons with a plunger, leading to a hilarious joke about plumbing issues. He then referenced Jimothy, the famous Seattle raccoon, and Trump's claim to be "No 1" on TikTok. "Jimothy's got him beat," Meyers declared, celebrating the raccoon's internet fame.
In his signature style, Meyers offers a witty and insightful commentary on Trump's recent antics, providing a much-needed dose of humor and perspective in these trying times.
