Seth Meyers on Monday chose to look on the bright side of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
“My goal these days is to try to stay in a good mood about things and nothing’s making me feel better than the fact that Donald Trump finally got his own Donald Trump,” said the “Late Night” host.
That “own Donald Trump” referred to billionaire Elon Musk, who even Trump has joked about overstaying his welcome at his Mar-a-Lago home since the election. Trump has tapped Musk to head up a non-official department to cut public spending.
Meyers mimicked Trump talking about Musk: “You can’t. Look, I’ve tried. I’ve tried. You can’t get rid of this guy. Every time he does something crazy, I think, ‘Well, that’ll be the end of it, that has to be the breaking point.’ And then, you know, no, he’s still right here. And also, I can’t believe I’m saying it, he needs to cool it on social media. The guy posts like a fucking maniac.”
