Seth Meyers Bursts Republicans' Bubble Over Their 'Epic' Tribute To Donald Trump

Seth Meyers flagged a potential major flaw with Republican moves to add Donald Trump’s image to Mount Rushmore, which Fox News personalities have said would be an “epic” tribute to the president.

The idea has gained increasing traction on the right in recent days, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) this week introduced a bill to try to make it a reality, despite the fact the memorial may not support an addition.

But as Meyers explained:

“You must not know Trump very well if you expect him to share a mountain with four other guys.”

The “Late Night” comedian then mimicked Trump as saying:

“Maybe we put a mountain on top of it, like a big mountain on top of the little mountain. Like a one-guy, we put a one-guy mountain.”

The move by Michael Whitaker means the FAA has no Senate-confirmed leader for one of the biggest crises in its history because he quit before Donald Trump took office. Whitaker ran the FAA for just a year but announced in December that he would step down on Jan. 20, as the new president was sworn in.
