'How Dare You': Seth Meyers Directly Responds To Trump's 'Truly Deranged' Personal Attack
HuffPost
The "Late Night" host wasn't having it with the president's "ranting and raving" about him.
Seth Meyers on Monday put Donald Trump on blast after the president attacked the “Late Night” host on social media, calling the comedian a “truly deranged lunatic” for mocking his recent complaints about U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
Trump — in an unhinged Truth Social post over the weekend — claimed that Meyers “endlessly” discussed electric catapults (or part of a carrier used to help aircraft achieve faster takeoff speeds) during his Thursday monologue before calling the host “100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”
Meyers addressed Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him: “You can say I’m untalented, you can say I’m deranged. But I’m not the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers! You’re the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers!”
The comedian tossed to a supercut showing Trump discussing aircraft catapults on several occasions including comments from his trip to Japan last week, where he asked whether steam-powered or “stupid” electric-powered aircraft catapults were “better.”
“Until you said something, I didn’t even know aircraft carriers had catapults!” Meyers quipped.
