Seth Meyers Skewers Trump’s Rambling Speech With A Perfect Pop Culture Burn

Seth Meyers on Thursday ridiculed Donald Trump’s latest rambling speech.

The “Late Night” comedian poked fun at the president’s bizarre, meandering comments about the USS Gerald R. Ford, its architect, magnets, hydraulics and more.

“What are you talking about?” Meyers asked. “I’m going to stress. I’m not asking rhetorically. For real, can you tell us what the fuck you’re talking about?”

“Every time Trump speaks, I feel like a guy who started Season 2 of ‘Severance’ without watching Season 1,” he joked. “‘Wait, why are they on a frozen lake? Also, who’s Ricken?’”

And with Trump’s reference to “the architect,” Meyers suggested all of the president’s stories “sound like a heist movie where everyone agreed not to use real names.”
