On Monday\u2019s episode<\/a> of Late Night With Seth Meyers, the host took a Closer Look at President Donald Trump\u2019s obsessive bathroom renovation, completed while the government is shut down and millions of Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits. That issue matters, Meyers said, adding, \u201cWhat matters far less is when the president posts about me, which he did over the weekend<\/a>, saying among other things that I \u2018may be the least talented person to perform live in the history of television,\u2019 calling me a \u2018deranged lunatic,\u2019 and commenting that I \u2018talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Saturday Night Live alum took a little time to address Trump\u2019s petty post. \u201cLook, in general, I try to live by the New Yorker\u2019s creed: When someone is ranting and raving about you, ignore them. Chances are, they\u2019re just going to move on and rave about something else. But there\u2019s one thing I simply have to address,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can say I\u2019m untalented. You can say I\u2019m deranged. But I\u2019m not the one who talks endlessly about catapults on aircraft carriers!\u201d Cue clips of Trump speaking engagements going back to 2019 talking about the catapults\u2014it seems he\u2019s almost as obsessed with catapults as he is with bathroom renovations. \u201cUntil you said something, I didn\u2019t even know aircraft carriers had catapults,\u201d Meyers said indignantly.<\/p>\n

The host acknowledged that Trump\u2019s insults and complaints about the show (which included that Meyers\u2019 criticism is \u201cPROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!\u201d) are protected as a first amendment right\u2014\u201dWhich I have too, right? We all have it, right?\u201d Meyers double-checked. He noted that the president\u2019s recent post claimed he had just watched Late Night for the first time in \u201cyears,\u201d when 10 months ago Trump posted that he \u201cgot stuck\u201d watching the show for the first time in \u201cmonths.\u201d If there\u2019s something that obsesses Trump more than bathrooms and catapults, it\u2019s his enemies in the media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI say this with sincerity, I don\u2019t wanna talk about catapults. I don\u2019t wanna talk about bathrooms. And I\u2019m realizing that I\u2019m starting to sound like a deranged lunatic, but that\u2019s what you do to us. You make us talk about what you\u2019re talking about, and then we all sound crazy,\u201d Meyers said. \u201cBut what we should be talking about instead is the government shutdown you\u2019re not solving or the food assistance you refuse to fund. Working families are struggling while you renovate your bathroom and you build your ballroom and that\u2019s why your approval ratings are in the toilet.\u201d<\/p>\n
