"And his fixation, his mania for being in our face, day and night. He has already claimed he's the best person to host the Kennedy Center Honors, and now comes word that he's hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn on his birthday next summer. So why not Late Night With Donald J. Trump? After all, the man has been doing stand-up comedy, unintentionally of course, for years."
"Trump would designate others for the punch lines; however, if he had to, he could keep them focused squarely on himself, and then truly ensure he'd be a hit. He could build his openings around being the master dealmaker who never makes a deal, the peacemaker who never makes peace, and the self-absorbed "stable genius" whose only real attribute is unstable craziness."
Donald Trump appears suited to host a late-night show, leveraging persistent self-promotion, insults, and boasts into monologue material. His claims—like stopping seven wars and deserving a Nobel—appear absurd and function as comedic fodder. Trump's media presence boosts ratings for other hosts while also positioning him as a spectacle who could design punch lines around his failed deals, hollow peacemaking, and vaunted “stable genius” persona that masks instability. Plans such as hosting the Kennedy Center Honors or staging a UFC fight on the White House lawn illustrate his craving for constant attention.
