Former President Trump Calls Seth Meyers Anti-Trump, Suggests It May Be Illegal

President Donald Trump has launched a series of sharp attacks on NBC's Late Night host Seth Meyers, accusing him of being "100% anti-Trump," which Trump suggested might be "probably illegal." The conflict escalated after Meyers mocked Trump's comments on electric versus steam catapults on aircraft carriers during a recent segment of "A Closer Look." Trump disparaged Meyers' talent and ratings, calling him a "deranged lunatic" and questioning why NBC wastes resources on him. This is part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting late-night hosts, having previously criticized Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. Meyers had also ridiculed Trump's overseas trip and his admiration for authoritarian regimes, adding to the tension between the two. Despite Trump's criticisms, Meyers remains a prominent figure in late-night television, with his contract at NBC extended through 2028.
