Late-night host Seth Meyers took time Monday to respond to President Donald Trump calling him “deranged” and “untalented.”
Trump took to Truth Social Saturday after Meyers joked about Trump’s criticism of the way aircraft carriers are built, The Hill reported.
On “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the host responded by stating, “in general, I try to live by the New Yorker’s creed. When someone is ranting and raving about you, ignore them. Chances are they’re just going to move on and rant about something else.”
“But there is one thing that I simply have to address,” Meyers said. “You can say I’m untalented. You can say I’m deranged. … But I’m not the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers!”
“You’re the one who talks endlessly who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers,” he added.
Watch:
“Until you said something, I didn’t even know aircraft carriers had catapults!” Meyers said, per Variety. “I’m not the talk-about-catapult guy. Just ask my friends. Oh, uh, friends are… how would I describe this to you? They’re like people who enjoy spending time with you independent of financial and legal favors you can grant them.”
In his “A Closer Look” segment, Meyers mentioned Trump’s renovation of the bathroom in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom. Trump posted about the renovation six times in one day — amid the government shutdown.
