Seth Meyers takes a closer look at the backlash the Trump White House continues to face over the ‘President’s’ cruel and sudden decision to ban transgender people from serving in the military. The ban is unexpected, as Trump could be seen holding a banner declaring himself as pro-LGBT. Maybe he thought the colorful rainbow stood for one of the 31 ice-cream flavors?
At the time Seth recorded this, the vote on the GOP ‘Skinny Bill for You Guys, and Fat Bill for We Rich Guys’, was still up in the air, but as I write this, the new bill was voted down 49-51. Senator John McCain is being celebrated as having made the difference!
Scaramucci is such an extremely profane defender of Trump that one might forget that before he stepped into this unofficial job, he was staunchly anti-Trump. In 2016, The Mooch told BCC “If Donald Trump becomes President, I’m looking forward to the BBC helping me find a flat somewhere in London.”
If nothing else, this proves that Trump has found his doppelganger. Both Trump and Scaramucci lie as they breathe, and both daily push the limits of decency. I think The Mooch may have pushed those limits right over a cliff today, in a heated screed. Reince Priebus was scorched as was Steve Bannon, who was directed to perform a physically improbable task. Mooch said much more that cannot be repeated by those of us who cannot insert the sound of a rooster crowing in place of one of Mooch’ s favorite words. Seth’s ingenious device allows this piece to be viewed at work – using earphones.
