Seth Meyers Isn't Playing Around With Trump's 'Out-Of-Touch' Economy Talk
HuffPost
The "Late Night" host pointed out a hypocrisy with the president's not-so-festive comments ahead of the holidays.
“Late Night” host Seth Meyers on Thursday called out President Donald Trump’s claims that he’s lowering prices, “crushing” inflation and Americans are getting “bigger paychecks.”
“If Trump is right and prices are coming down and you’re getting higher paychecks, you’re probably thinking, ‘All right, I can buy my kids all the pencils they want this Christmas.’ Well, think again, asshole!” Meyers declared.
Trump, during an “affordability”-themed rally this week, remarked on giving up “certain products” such as pencils before returning to a familiar hit: American children can simply learn to live with having fewer toys.
“Under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need one or two, you know. They don’t need that many,” Trump said. “But you always need, you always need steel. You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice. You don’t need 37 dolls.”
Meyers expressed that there’s “a lot to unpack” about the president’s remarks.
