Seth Meyers takes a moment to talk about the results of the 2015 presidential election and what a Trump presidency could mean for the nation. Seth’s commentary has gone viral, in part because – like many of us, he’s working through the emotions of one who hoped the election would turn out differently. With humor and compassion, Seth shares hope. How can you not be hopeful, as Seth points out, Donald Trump has held every position one can take. He was pro-choice, he’s been both for and against the Iraq War. He’s been actively anti-draft but yet pro-war. The only consistent position Trump has held…For decades, is his abiding hatred of Rosie O’Donnell.
Like President Obama and the First Lady, who warmly welcomed the Trumps to the White House today – a civil act that surprised the Trumps who had perhaps planned a hostile takeover – Seth offers his warm congratulations to the first family. And, in the language of his homeland, Seth offers his congratulations to Vladimir Putin as well.
