In a scathing Tuesday night monologue, Late Night host Seth Meyers delivered a sharp critique of former President Donald Trump, focusing on two controversial incidents that have captured public attention.
Trump's Golden Gifts From Swiss Executives
Meyers expressed disbelief at reports that Swiss business executives presented Trump with extravagant gifts, including a personalized gold Rolex desktop clock and a one-kilogram gold bar bearing his name. The host questioned the timing of these lavish presents, noting they occurred just before Switzerland finalized its trade deal with the United States.
"So now foreign officials are just openly giving him gold?" Meyers asked his audience incredulously. He characterized Trump's behavior as increasingly cartoonish, suggesting the former president was becoming a "live-action political cartoon." The comedian predicted what might come next in this pattern: "Next time, someone's going to give him a big sack with a dollar sign on it!"
Bizarre Claims in GB News Interview
The comedy segment then shifted to Trump's recent interview with the right-wing GB News network in the United Kingdom. Meyers highlighted Trump's claim that people frequently approach him seeking advice on "what do you recommend for growing your children."
"Though, I don't know if I'd want advice on raising children from someone who doesn't even know it's called 'raising children,'" Meyers quipped before launching into his signature Trump impression. The host imagined how Trump might approach childcare: "'So hard to grow children in this climate during the dry season!'"
Trump's Substance-Free Lifestyle Claims
Meyers also addressed Trump's assertion during the same interview that he has never consumed alcohol and doesn't take drugs. The comedian turned this declaration into a punchline, suggesting Trump's behavior might actually serve as an advertisement for substance use.
"Maybe one of the best endorsements I've ever heard for drinking and doing drugs," Meyers joked, drawing laughter from the studio audience. The segment concluded with a reminder that viewers could watch more of Meyers' Tuesday monologue on Late Night.
