Late-night hosts discuss Trump bragging about his intellect again as he prepares for a summit with Putin in Alaska
Late-night hosts talked about Donald Trump’s rambling Truth Social posts and Taylor Swift’s new album announcement.
Seth Meyers opened Tuesday’s Late Night with a recap of Donald Trump’s effort to take over the metro police in Washington DC. During Monday’s announcement that the federal government would deploy national guard troops in the city, Trump said that he wanted residents to feel safe going to the store to buy a newspaper. “You think I need to go to the store to buy a newspaper? Is that right after my milk gets delivered?” Meyers laughed.
During the same press conference, Trump also discussed his upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin, and said, “I think it will be good, but it might be bad.” “Only Trump talks about a peace conference like it’s a new Marvel movie,” said Meyers, adding: “Look, they got Chris Evans back and worst-case scenario, the place has AC.”
In a post last week on Truth Social, Trump promoted a book about the assassination attempt on his life last summer, but misspelled the author’s name. “Don’t take it personally, he also misspelled his wife’s name,” said Meyers, pointing out that Trump called Melania “Melanie” on Truth Social, as well.
