Seth Meyers has been one of Donald Trump’s most persistent late‑night critics, and in recent months he has focused on Trump’s behavior, truthfulness, and foreign‑policy decisions.

Recent on-air comments

  • In a December 2025 “A Closer Look” segment about Trump’s primetime economic address, Meyers mocked the way Trump delivered the speech, joking “Stop shouting at us, grandpa!” as he played clips of Trump raising his voice during the televised remarks.
  • In that same segment, Meyers accused Trump of making “numerous falsehoods” about the economy, pointing to Trump’s claim that “inflation has stopped, wages are up, and prices are down” and contrasting it with ongoing cost-of-living struggles for ordinary Americans.

Critique of Trump’s leadership

  • Meyers argued that Trump’s speech was “erratic” and “filled with blatant lies,” noting that TV fact‑checkers could barely keep up with correcting the claims in real time.
  • He said Americans are dealing with higher expenses and economic anxiety while Trump “just yells at everybody through the TV” instead of showing empathy or proposing credible solutions.

Comments on Trump and Venezuela

  • In early January 2026, Meyers riffed on reports that Trump’s administration moved toward military action against Venezuela partly because President Nicolás Maduro’s public dancing was seen as mocking U.S. officials.
  • Meyers joked that he did not literally believe Trump started a war over “a foreign leader’s dance moves,” calling that idea “absurd,” then sarcastically rebranded the justification as going to war over “WDMs — wicked dance moves.”

Mocking Trump’s image and style

  • Meyers also drew parallels between Maduro and Trump, joking that Maduro was “copying” Trump by dancing at rallies in a red hat, but adding that Maduro at least used his lower body when he danced.
  • He suggested Trump might be embarrassed that Maduro seemed to outdo him even at something as trivial as rally dancing, using that bit to underline how theatrical and image‑driven modern politics can be.

Broader pattern of criticism

  • Across these segments, Meyers portrays Trump as self‑absorbed, dishonest, and unserious about the real costs of his decisions, whether on the economy or foreign policy.
  • The tone is mostly comedic and cutting, but he often pivots to a more serious note, warning that behind the jokes are real issues like rising prices, war decisions, and the need for more responsible leadership.
