\u201cLate Night<\/a>\u201d host Seth Meyers<\/a> clowned conservatives on Wednesday for insisting that Donald Trump<\/a> isn\u2019t \u201cacting like a king\u201d following massive \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests this past weekend.<\/p>\n

Meyers \u2014 who declared that Republicans<\/a> were \u201creally offended\u201d by the implication \u2014 played a supercut of the president, his son Donald Trump Jr.<\/a>, Fox News<\/a> hosts and House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-La.) dismissing such talk.<\/p>\n

Meyers went on to emphasize that Trump is no king.<\/p>\n

\u2033[A king is] someone who presumes the power to do whatever they want without consulting anyone else, someone who treats public property and the resources of the state as their own,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone who surrounds themselves with lavish appointments and gilded furnishings and the trappings of wealth and power and \u2014 oh fuck, I just realized where this is going!\u201d <\/p>\n

He swiftly turned to news coverage of demolition at the White House as crews are expected to tear down the entire East Wing<\/a> by this weekend to make way for the president\u2019s 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom.<\/p>\n

Trump \u2014 in remarks from the White House on Tuesday \u2014 suggested that presidents have wanted a \u201cworld-class\u201d ballroom for 150 years.<\/p>\n

Meyers took issue with Trump\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t remember JFK ever saying, \u2018Ask not what your country can do for you, ask how you can build a ballroom for your country,\u2019\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

He later likened the \u201cinsane\u201d pictures of the East Wing demolition to a scene out of an \u201capocalyptic, disaster movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first thing aliens do in movies to announce they\u2019re evil, they blow up the White House<\/a>. Trump is just cutting out the middleman of invading aliens,\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n
