Seth Meyers Fires Back After Trump Fumes His Comedy Is PROBABLY ILLEGAL'

"Seth Meyers used his NBC show to push back against President Donald Trump on Monday night, after the president claimed on Truth Social that Meyers' comedy was PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!! Trump attacked the host on Saturday, insisting the comedian may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise, and complaining that Meyers' act is now 100% ANTI-TRUMP which he added was PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!"

"Meyers opened his response, however, by focusing on Trump's claim that he talks endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers. The host insisted that fixation was Trump's alone, to laughter from the audience, before running a slew of clips of the president talking about catapults on aircraft carriers. Until you said something, I didn't even know aircraft carriers had catapults! he said to Trump. He then took his time deconstructing the president's post, going line by line at the contradictions."

"The late-night host then went directly to the First Amendment, returning fire with the very words Trump had used to suggest illegality. That is your First Amendment right, which I have too, right? We all have it, right? he asked. He continued: I say this with sincerity, people don't want to talk about catapults. I don't want to talk about [White House] bathrooms. And I'm realizing that I'm starting to sound like a deranged lunatic. But that's what you do to us. You make us talk about what you're talking about, and then we all sound crazy."

Seth Meyers rebutted President Donald Trump's Truth Social claim that his comedy is 'probably illegal,' after Trump called Meyers the 'worst' and claimed the act is '100% anti-Trump.' Meyers mocked Trump's fixation on electric catapults on aircraft carriers and ran clips of the president discussing them. Meyers pointed out contradictions in Trump's post, including Trump's claim he had not watched Meyers despite complaining about being 'stuck' watching him months earlier. Meyers invoked the First Amendment, noting everyone has free-speech rights and using Trump's words to reject the illegality accusation. Meyers argued Trump's theatrical fixations distract from real issues such as the unresolved government shutdown and withheld food assistance.
