Seth Meyers takes a closer look the second straight weekend of massive protests against Trump – after he issued a ban on refugees and visitors from seven majority Muslim countries. Confusion, chaos and tragedy reign, due to Trump’s irrational and ill conceived ban. Yet,somewhere in a quiet room, away from the world, Trump declares: “I think it’s going very nicely.”
Putting Trump’s week into perspective: He dropped to a record low approval rating. Had two straight weekends of worldwide protests, and lost a court battle over a sloppy and discriminatory executive order.
“First They Came For the Muslims – Not Today Mother****!” Protesters carrying signs are not fooled by Trump’s ban on terrorism. As if there was ever a doubt, here is an elated Rudy Giuliani, so thrilled to have been asked to serve Trump, that he’s oblivious to the fact that he’s just let the big, ugly, xenophobic cat out of the bag!
Rudy G: “When he first announced it he said Muslim ban. When he called me up, he said ‘put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally.’ What we did was, we focused on, instead of religion...danger! The areas of the world that create danger for us!“
Perhaps Rudy and Trump’s crew of grizzled scallywags simply overlooked Saudi Arabia and Egypt – they were somewhat rushed.
