Seth Meyers examines the recent trend of Congressional Republicans who have taken to dodging the press by ducking into elevators and hiding out, simply to avoid answering questions about their own presidential nominee, Donald Trump. Seth comments, “It’s only appropriate that a campaign which began on an escalator ends on an elevator.”
It’s not just Republicans who are shunning the presumptive nominee. Even Trump’s macho bestie (although they’ve not met), Vladimir Putin is becoming frosty. Who’s next? Is it possible that Lil’ Kim will send regrets from North Korea, refusing Trump’s offer to visit the White House?
It seems like just yesterday when Republicans threw caution to the winds, and embraced Trump like the charismatic Cheese Doodle who would bring radical gun-nuts and sheet-wearing racists running to the bosom of the GOP. It was as if they really believed it when he promised to “get more presidential” in a few days, and now they’re disappointed. If that was odd, wait until you hear who they’ve called in the save the day. I won’t name him, but he has been painting self-portraits in his shower since his own eviction from the White House.
It gets more bizarre. While Seth and NBC are still holding out the television offer to Trump, he may have some big money in the offing – but only if he drops out of the election. While I’m not certain who is dangling the money to tempt Trump, it’s possible that those with the most to gain, our closest neighbors, Mexico and Canada are chipping in.
