Digital Phablet – Another late-night talk show host has been criticized by President Donald Trump for not showing him the admiration he expected.
Prince Andrew to leave royal lodge for Sandringham after losing titles and honors“Seth Meyers of NBC might be the least talented person to ever perform live on television,” Trump wrote on Truth Social this Saturday. “He might even be the worst entertainer, live or pre-recorded.”
Last Thursday on *Late Night with Seth Meyers*, Meyers discussed a speech delivered by Donald Trump to U.S. Navy personnel off the coast of Japan. During his segment called “A Closer Look,” Meyers analyzed the speech, humorously translating it in a part titled “Seth Translates Trump to English.”

Meyers commented, “If anyone dares to criticize him, Trump loses his mind.” This was a reference to the president’s reaction to Chuck Schumer’s negative review of his East Asia trip.
Meyers further added, “Trump believes that speaking ill of him is equivalent to treason.”
Donald Trump responded angrily, suggesting that being “anti-Trump” could be illegal, which almost seemed to support Meyers’ point.
“Why does NBC allocate resources and airtime to this guy?” NO SKILLS, NO RATINGS, AND COMPLETELY AGAINST TRUMP—WHICH MIGHT BE ILLEGAL!
Donald Trump on Truth Social
The president has criticized the comedian before. In January, Trump called Meyers “Marble Mouth Meyers” and dismissed him as “just a filler for the scum running Comcast” in another rant on Truth Social.
In August, the president targeted Meyers once more. He claimed on Truth Social that there's "a sick rumor" that "Fake News NBC" increased Meyers’ salary. Meyers’ contract was extended until 2028 back in May 2024. Trump stated, "He has no ratings, no talent, and no intelligence—just the personality of an insecure child." He vowed to investigate why the network would "extend this fool’s contract."
The president has also criticized other late-night shows, including those hosted by Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon. Meyers remarked that it was "kind of nice" to be on the president's radar.
In July, Trump expressed pleasure over the cancellation of *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert*, the most popular late-night program at the time. The cancellation followed Colbert calling a legal agreement between Trump and Paramount a "bribe."
Trump was also pleased when Kimmel was temporarily suspended after making remarks about killing right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. After extensive complaints, ABC reinstated *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*

Meyers discussed Trump’s lengthy, perplexing speech, which bizarrely linked how water influences magnets with his enthusiasm for steam-powered catapults.
The president described Meyers' commentary on his speech as "going on and on, a truly insane lunatic."
Meyers has yet to respond publicly to Trump's attacks but shared the most offensive segment of the clip on social media following Trump's outburst.
