#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Snaps Over Trump’s Deadly Narcissism

#EndorseThis: Seth Meyers Snaps Over Trump’s Deadly Narcissism

Everything with Donald Trump is a transaction, whether it’s sending military aid to a wartorn country like Ukraine (remember impeachment?) or providing desperately needed medical equipment to states struck by coronavirus.

“It’s a two-way street,” according to this great statesman, who demands personal tribute from those who want federal help. “They have to treat us well too!”

Wrong, retorts Seth Meyers, broadcasting in social isolation from his home study: “No, they don’t. It’s your job! They don’t owe you anything for doing your job….Imagine being America’s dumbest person, somehow getting to the highest office in the land, and still thinking that you’re owed something.”

Meyers also has little patience with reports that Trump is feeling “isolated” and “bored” in the White House, where he has taken to crashing actual meetings – much to the surprise of his appointees. The Late Night host is recording videos remotely from home, harassed by kids and even a squawking bird.

If Seth is feeling a little crabby in self-quarantine, it’shard to blame him. At least he’s taking it out on someone who deserves it.

#EndorseThis: Rudy Giuliani’s Latest Conspiracy Theory Targets Obama

#EndorseThis: Rudy Giuliani’s Latest Conspiracy Theory Targets Obama

Rudy Giuliani is still promoting crazy conspiracy theories about the Bidens – and now he has extended his smear brush to Barack Obama. You see, according to Rudy, Paul Manafort is actually innocent and was framed by agents of Obama and Biden…

On Fox News, Giuliani claims to have three witnesses to their nefarious plotting, and then counts them on his fingers: “One. Two Three.”

This sort of “evidence” doesn’t impress Seth Meyers, who briskly mocks and debunks Giuliani. Not everybody is so skeptical, however: Over at Bill Barr’s Justice Department they’re listening closely to Rudy’s fantasies and taking notes, now that federal prosecutors are recast as presidential stooges rather than law enforcement officers.

“Not only are Republicans pursuing corrupt investigations of their political rivals,” notes Meyers, “but they’re also taking revenge on people who cross Trump” — like Alexander Vindman, the decorated Army lieutenant colonel dismissed from his White House for testifying in the impeachment inquiry.

To Seth, these are just further indications of Trump’s narcissistic, authoritarian personality. And if you can’t see that — well, Jeanine Pirro has a word for you.

#EndorseThis: Orange Jumpsuits On The ‘Trump Train’ 2020?

#EndorseThis: Orange Jumpsuits On The ‘Trump Train’ 2020?

Donald Trump is the “communications director, finance director, campaign manager, and master of the Trump train” as he and his followers gear up for 2020, according to CNN. The problem, as Seth Meyers observes acidly, is that several of the top figures from his previous campaign are under criminal indictment, with at least two already heading to prison. Will Trump-Pence 2020 issue orange jumpsuits to this cycle’s campaign staff?

Like everyone else in America, Meyers is also preparing for the release of the Mueller report, which is said to be imminent. In the meantime, however, he looks at the scandalous lending to Trump by Deutsche Bank. It’s a perfect example of how finance is rigged in favor of the rich — even a rich deadbeat like this president.

#EndorseThis: Sorry, Seth Meyers Can’t Stand “Nice” Trump

#EndorseThis: Sorry, Seth Meyers Can’t Stand “Nice” Trump

If you’re a nightly TV satirist, these constant Trump rallies are comedy gold – in that very sick vein we have learned to expect from POTUS. The notion that he might tone himself down or behave like a normal, rational political leader would be devastating news to the late-night television industry.

It seemed to be a real risk in the wake of the attempted bomb attacks against Obama, the Clintons, and several other American liberals.

“Do you see how nice I’m behaving tonight?” Trump demanded at his Wisconsin event on Thursday. “We’re all behaving very well, and hopefully we can keep it that way.” Which might have upset Seth Meyers, except that he and everyone else knew that Trump was full of it, as always.

Seth moves briskly on to Trump’s fake “middle-class tax cut,” promised before November. Is the president so stupid that he doesn’t realize Congress isn’t in session? Or is he simply lying? He and the Republicans are now lying constantly about pre-existing conditions protection in health care, too.
