Seth Meyers Nails Fox News for Helping Trump ‘Save Face’ on Border Wall Surrender
During a sit-down interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham this week, President Donald Trump admitted that he hadn’t yet read the bipartisan deal to keep the government open because he was rushing over to see her. “It was between the deal and you and I had to choose you,” he told her.
“He literally said, I had a choice between running the government and going on Fox News, and I chose Fox News,” Seth Meyers explained on Wednesday’s Late Night. “No quote has ever summed up Trump’s presidency better than that.”
“We are in this situation because Trump sold his supporters an obvious lie that he had no intention of keeping and now he’s desperately trying to save face,” the host said later in his “A Closer Look” segment, pointing to Trump’s latest attempts to convince his followers that the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border is already being built.
