Here’s a shocking truth: while millions of Americans are struggling due to a government shutdown, President Donald Trump is more focused on attacking late-night comedians than addressing the crisis. But here’s where it gets controversial—Seth Meyers isn’t just brushing off Trump’s latest social media tirade; he’s turning the spotlight right back on the president’s priorities. During his November 3rd episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host responded to Trump’s Truth Social post, where the former president called Meyers ‘deranged’ and ‘the least talented person to perform live in television history.’ Trump’s rant was sparked by Meyers mocking his recent Asia trip, particularly his obsession with steam-powered vs. electric catapults on aircraft carriers—a topic most people would likely find, well, bizarrely specific. And this is the part most people miss: while Trump attacks Meyers for being ‘100% anti-Trump, which is probably illegal,’ the comedian flips the script, pointing out that it’s Trump who’s fixated on trivialities like catapults while ignoring pressing issues like the government shutdown and the expiration of SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans. Meyers quipped, ‘You can say I’m untalented, you can say I’m deranged, but I’m not the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers!’ This isn’t the first time Trump has gone after Meyers. In August, he slammed the comedian’s talent and personality after NBC renewed his contract. But Meyers isn’t backing down, using his platform to highlight the stark contrast between Trump’s priorities and the struggles of working families. Here’s the bold question: Is Trump’s focus on personal attacks a distraction from his failure to address critical national issues? Or is this just another example of politics as usual? Let’s discuss in the comments—because while Meyers may joke about it, the stakes for millions of Americans couldn’t be higher.
