Trump Criticizes Seth Meyers, Claims Anti-Trump Comedy May Be Illegal

News summary

President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized late-night TV host Seth Meyers, labeling him as the "least talented" and "worst" performer on television while accusing him of being "100% anti-Trump" and suggesting this stance might be "probably illegal." Trump’s ire was sparked by a recent "Late Night with Seth Meyers" segment mocking Trump's speech to U.S. Navy troops, where Meyers ridiculed Trump's preference for traditional steam catapults over new electromagnetic ones on aircraft carriers. Trump called Meyers a "deranged lunatic" and questioned why NBC continues to support him despite what Trump describes as low ratings and lack of talent. This feud is part of a broader pattern where Trump has targeted multiple late-night hosts, including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon. Meyers has responded with humor, noting that being on Trump's radar is "kind of nice." The conflict highlights ongoing tensions between the president and the late-night comedy circuit, often centered on political satire and criticism.
