President Donald Trump has lashed out at yet another late-night TV show host for failing to fall at his feet in groveling praise.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to \u2018perform\u2019 live in the history of television,\u201c Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. \u201dIn fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise.”<\/p>\n

\"DonaldDonald Trump talking about Seth Meyers on Truth Social Truth Social <\/p>\n

In his \u201cA Closer Look\u201d segment on Thursday\u2019s Late Night with Seth Meyers show, Meyers ran a segment called \u201cSeth Translates Trump to English,\u201d in which he riffed on a speech Trump gave to U.S. Navy troops stationed off the coast of Japan this week. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone dares to say anything less than glowing, Trump loses his s–t,\u201d Meyers said, explaining the president\u2019s fury with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s negative review of his East Asia trip.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump thinks that if you say something mean about him, that\u2019s treason,\u201d Meyers added.<\/p>\n

Almost proving his point, Trump raged against Meyers, suggesting that being \u201canti-Trump\u201d might actually be against the law. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time the 51-year-old comedian has come under fire from the president. In January, Trump blasted Meyers in another late-night Truth Social rant, deriding him as \u201cMarble Mouth Meyers\u201d and \u201cmerely a slot filler for the Scum that runs Comcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

In August, Trump again went for Meyers, complaining<\/a> on Truth Social that there was \u201ca sick rumor going around that Fake News NBC\u201d had extended Meyers\u2019 contract. (Meyers\u2019 contract was extended in May 2024 through 2028). \u201cHe has no Ratings, Talent, or Intelligence, and the Personality of an insecure child,\u201d Trump continued, before vowing to get to the bottom of why the network would \u201cextend this dope\u2019s contract.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"LateSeth Meyers discusses the cancellation of the show fronted by his fellow late-night host, Jimmy Kimmel. NBC <\/p>\n

Meyers said it was \u201ckind of nice\u201d to be on the president\u2019s radar, following Trump\u2019s assaults on fellow late-night hosts including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon. <\/p>\n

In July, Trump celebrated the cancellation of the number one-rated late night show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which was announced shortly after its host described a legal settlement between Paramount and Trump as a \u201cbribe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also celebrated the suspension of Kimmel following comments he made about the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Jimmy Kimmel Live! was reinstated by ABC following public outcry.<\/p>\n

In Thursday\u2019s segment, Meyers discussed Trump\u2019s rambling speech in which he wove a twisting path between the effects of water on magnets and his preference for steam-powered catapults. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic,\u201d Trump wrote, describing Meyers\u2019 analysis of Trump\u2019s own speech. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Meyers has yet to respond to Trump\u2019s attack but did post<\/a> the offending segment in question to social media following the president\u2019s outburst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump has lashed out at yet another late-night TV show host for failing to fall at…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":349943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1144,77,171,15467,15466,345,37204,5200,15468,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-349942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-comedy","9":"tag-donald-j-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-late-night","12":"tag-seth-meyers","13":"tag-social-media","14":"tag-trumpland","15":"tag-truth-social","16":"tag-tvmovies","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115479195879310797","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
