Seth Meyers reveals how Trump misused his status as President to slam Nordstroms, attack the free press and threaten lawmakers about the travel ban – all in just the past few days.
“I was a good student, I understand things, I comprehend very well, okay – better than..I think, almost anybody!.” This modest self-evaluation by Trump, is why the court is clearly foolish in blocking Trump’s travel ban. In related information; leaks from the White House reveal that memos to Trump cannot be more than one page, and must contain bullet points – but no more than nine.
Personal business takes precedence over national security. Twenty one minutes into a security briefing, Trump issued a fiery tweet about Nordstroms. Our idea of security is slightly different than Trump’s, who brought his full presidential wrath down on the department store for dropping Ivanka’s clothing line. By the way, Nordstrom’s stock has been on the rise! Ever faithful, Kellyanne Conway used an interview on Fox & Friends to push Ivanka’s line. Seth quips that the only network Kellyanne should grace is QVC – a popular suggestion, judging by the reaction of the studio audience.
Trump peddles falsehoods, silences critics, and his attacks on the free press are far from subtle. Trump continues his claims that the murder rate is escalating, because, he says – it always brought tears on the campaign trail. I can see why a free press might be a hindrance to this leader of the emotionally driven and fact-free masses.
