Late Night with Seth Meyers: Donald Trump Is Running for President

Late Night with Seth Meyers: Donald Trump Is Running for President, and Gosh, We're All Thrilled!

Comedian Seth Meyers, like us – is simply thrilled that Donald Trump has officially announced his intention to run for president! The announcement was covered in tedious play-by-play by Fox ‘news’ which missed none of Trump’s marathon bragging or racism, and provided their own sexism when time seemed to lag.

Apparently we need a president who knows that all of our ills are sent here by the Mexican government. You’d think Mexico would make it easier for those folks to get here…But that’s how diabolical they are! More bragging. Trump  will build a magnificent wall to stop ‘rapists and criminals,’because, he modestly concedes “Nobody builds walls better than I do.”  True that, he builds  intellectual , racial and actual brick and mortar walls.  Trump would do it too. The Trump Wall would dwarf the Great Wall of China, and he’d build it with undocumented Mexican labor. Oh…Speaking of China, you don’t think they were viewing this do you? Trump bragged that he’s already “beaten China.” The man’s a natural diplomat.

Seth Meyers explains how Trump might be an asset to Republican candidates.

 “Trump in the race means Trump getting attention.  Trump getting attention means Trump making statements.  Trump making statements, means all the other candidates have to respond to Trump, and that takes away the ability for the GOP to have a dull conversation about how they want to run this country.  In the end, of the day,  you have to hand it to Trump.  He spoke off the cuff for fifty two minutes  – and did something few presidential candidates ever do, he made a promise that I am sure he’ll keep”   It’s a pity too. Now, all I can think about is Donald Trump in a bicycle race.
