"You called them obsolete, sloppy and bad, and now you want their help? Meyers marveled. It's like breaking up with someone and then immediately asking them for help moving. I know I called you obsolete and sloppy, but I didn't say you were bad at carrying things! Now hop to it, fatso, I gotta date tonight!"
"Nato countries have made the very reasonable observation that this is not a war they started, it's not on or near their territory and it's not within the scope of their mission. So Trump tried to insist that they need the oil, while inadvertently revealing that maybe, maybe this entire debacle was completely unnecessary."
"You could make the case that maybe we shouldn't even be there at all, because we don't need it. We have a lot of oil. Man, it's a shame no one made that case before we went! Meyers responded. I mean, there are so many cases to make here. You could make the case that we shouldn't be there at all."
Late-night host Seth Meyers criticized Trump for repeatedly insulting NATO members as obsolete and sloppy, then immediately requesting their assistance with the Strait of Hormuz amid tensions with Iran. NATO allies including Germany and Britain declined, noting the conflict was not their war, not on their territory, and outside their mission scope. Meyers highlighted the contradiction in Trump's approach to international relationships, comparing it to insulting someone then asking for favors. Trump's own statements inadvertently suggested the military involvement may have been unnecessary, as the U.S. has sufficient domestic oil reserves.
