Donald Trump<\/a> took fresh aim at Seth Meyers<\/a> Saturday afternoon, again blasting the Late Night host, saying he has \u201cno talent,\u201d calling his ratings a \u201cdisaster,\u201d and urging NBC to fire him.<\/p>\n

\u201cNBC\u2019s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS),\u201d Trump wrote in a new Truth Social post<\/a>. \u201cHe was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his \u2018show\u2019 is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t immediately clear what provoked Trump\u2019s outburst. <\/p>\n

In his post, he referenced watching Meyers \u201clast night.\u201d Though Late Night with Seth Meyers doesn\u2019t produce new episodes on Fridays, NBC last night aired a repeat of Meyers\u2019s Monday, November 3 episode, which happened to be the installment that aired immediately after the last time Trump lashed out at Meyers<\/a>, calling him \u201cthe least talented person ever to appear live on television.\u201d<\/p>\n

As LateNighter\u2019s Bill Carter wrote at the time<\/a>, Meyers\u2019s response was \u201ca meticulous, hilarious takedown\u201d of Trump\u2019s earlier message, in which Trump complained that Meyers was \u201c100 percent anti-Trump, which is probably illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s feud with Meyers stretches back to the 2011 White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner, where both Meyers and then-President Obama roasted the future president. Cameras caught Trump sitting stone-faced during the jokes\u2014a moment that many observers believe helped fuel his eventual run for the presidency.<\/p>\n

In the years since, Trump has repeatedly lashed out at Meyers and NBC, declaring earlier this year that parent company Comcast should \u201cpay a BIG price\u201d<\/a> for airing shows like\u00a0Late Night, which he\u2019s labeled \u201cpolitical hits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a sick rumor going around that Fake News NBC extended the contract of one of the least talented Late Night television hosts out there, Seth Meyers,\u201d Trump wrote this past January. \u201cHe has no Ratings, Talent, or Intelligence, and the Personality of an insecure child\u2026 So, why would Fake News NBC extend this dope\u2019s contract? I don\u2019t know, but I\u2019ll definitely be finding out!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

There was no indication NBC had actually extended Meyers\u2019 deal. With three years left on his current contract, it would have been unusual timing for a renewal. Lorne Michaels, who produces\u00a0Late Night, said at the time he was optimistic\u2014but not certain\u2014that Meyers and his lead-in,\u00a0Tonight Show\u00a0host Jimmy Fallon, would see their current contracts through.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [Comcast CEO] Brian Roberts\u2014who I will be working for for the rest of my life, who I have very high admiration for\u2014has integrity,\u201d Michaels said. \u201cBut at the same time, everyone has [broadcast] licenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meyers\u00a0later responded<\/a>\u00a0with a calm rejoinder that gently undercut Trump\u2019s insults without matching his tone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has come to my attention that sometimes people who do not care for me get stuck watching my show,\u201d Meyers said. \u201cAnd to those people I could just say: You have my sympathy, and I hope you get a TV set that allows you to change the channel.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC and Meyers have not yet addressed Trump\u2019s latest remarks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristin Callahan\/Everett Collection, Lloyd Bishop\/NBC Donald Trump took fresh aim at Seth Meyers Saturday afternoon, again blasting the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-136209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
