Here’s a clip from last night’s Late Night, where Seth Meyers covers a pile of the latest Trump news including his new proposed immigration policy, Stephen Miller’s comments at the White House press briefing, and Trump’s terrible poll numbers. “Those sound less like poll numbers and more like your wife yelling at you after you got too drunk at a party: ‘I married you because I thought you were levelheaded but you embarrassed me tonight, Michael! I came home 54% embarrassed!’â€
But, no matter how bad the news gets for Trump, Meyers points out that he always finds a way to retreat into his own “alternate reality,†as shown through the leaked transcript of his phone call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto about the border wall. “He’s like a guy talking to his friend on their way home from a bachelor party: ‘We cannot say we went to a strip club! Your wife will ask and my wife will ask, and it’s best if we just say we had some steak and we went to bed early. But this only works if we both do it!’â€
