Seth Meyers jokes about a wake-up plan for a drowsy Trump
On his Late Night show, Seth Meyers mocked Donald Trump’s apparent dozing during public events and suggested a comedic method to keep him awake.
Seth Meyers used his Late Night platform to lampoon Donald Trump’s tendency to look sleepy at public appearances, showing footage from a recent funeral and a cabinet discussion where Trump’s eyes seemed closed. He joked that the president’s habit of staying up for early-morning Truth Social posts might be why he looks exhausted, and suggested a heckler could follow him to snap him out of slumber, even syncing a shouted chant to a meeting clip.
Meyers also poked fun at Trump’s eulogy for the late Senator Lindsey Graham, noting the president called the senator “extremely hawkish.” The monologue referenced Sean Hannity’s criticism of the Graham eulogy and included a brief nod to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner mishap. Throughout, Meyers blended satire with clips of Trump’s late-night social-media activity, as reported.
