In Monday’s episode (17), Seth Meyers mocked Donald Trump after being attacked on the president’s social media accounts, where he demanded that Meyers be fired.
“Seth Meyers of NBC suffers from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS),” Trump posted on Saturday.
“He was seen last night in an uncontrollable rage, probably because his ‘show’ is a ratings disaster. On top of that, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him immediately!”, the president raged.
“Guys. They said my name on TV! It’s not always. It’s not every day you hear the name Seth Meyers on TV before midnight,” Seth Meyers said sarcastically, mocking Trump.
Moments later, he became serious and began explaining how he deals with this kind of situation.

“I prefer to deal with these situations the same way you deal with an angry driver who honks and flips you off on the road. You just ignore them,” the host noted.
Meyers said that being attacked by the president “doesn’t make him special”, and that he is simply one more name on the list of “the president’s trash”.
“I have no problem with the president expressing his dissatisfaction with my show. It’s his right, and on many nights, he’s right,” Meyers said ironically.
Besides Seth Meyers, Trump has attacked other late-night talk show hosts, such as Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.
