Late-night hosts discussed the response to the long-winded speech and suspicious redactions from the Epstein files
Late-night hosts tore into Donald Trump’s extremely long State of the Union address and a bombshell new report on redactions from the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Donald Trump arrived to his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening with low expectations and even lower goodwill, with his approval rating hovering somewhere around a dismal 36%. “So the polling was bad before the speech and bad after the speech,” Seth Meyers reported on Wednesday evening, “and on top of that it was long and boring,” clocking in at a record one hour and 47 minutes.
Or, if you’re Republican, it was “the best State of the Union speech that I’ve seen”, to quote the House speaker, Mike Johnson. Ted Cruz went one step further, calling it “majestic”. And according to one Fox News commentator: “Any historian who’s writing about this presidency has to watch this speech tonight and read it carefully.”
“Historians have to read it carefully? Trump didn’t read it carefully!” the Late Night responded before footage of Trump stumbling over nonsensical sentences.
