Late-night hosts discussed Donald Trump’s attack on an ex-Navy Seal and his latest set of lies.

Seth Meyers

On Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host said that despite what people might think about Trump, “one thing I think everyone can agree on is that he is weird”.

He said that “every few months ago he concocts a bizarre lie about another country” while running through a brief history of such instances.

“Trump has made up a fake terror attack in Sweden, claimed Germany was captive to Russia and said Paris just doesn’t exist anymore,” Meyers said.

The latest incident saw “our deeply weird president” speak to press while on the ground for the Californian wildfire. Trump used the opportunity to talk about how raking has prevented forest fires in Finland, a fact he learned from the Finnish president, something he has since claimed to be a lie.

“If you didn’t know Trump was president, you’d think he was just a weirdo who walked up to them from his trailer in the woods,” Meyers said. “He should be covered in leaves and holding a giant walking stick.”

Trump also spoke about the forest floor. “It’s the ground!” Meyers said. “Does he also call the sky the ceiling of the earth?”

He continued: “We’re like a week away from the president of Romania calling a press conference to say I did not tell president Trump that vampires are real”

Meyers referred to his “fantastical lies” used to back up his “deluded worldview” before showing footage of Trump claiming that he has learned a lot in a Fox News interview. “If you don’t know anything and then you learn one thing, it seems like a lot,” he said.

He also called him a “conspiracy theorist who makes up cartoonish lies”.

Stephen Colbert

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert spoke about Trump’s attack on ex-Navy Seal William H McRaven who was involved in capturing both Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. “That is a hell of a resume,” he said.

After criticising him in a Fox News interview, Trump also said that he’s willing to take the blame when it’s fairly attributed. “Trump is willing to take the blame, he’s just never to blame,” he said.

Trump also attacked Democratic congressman Adam Schiff by referring to him as Adam Schitt in a tweet. “Let’s not gloss over the fact that the president of the United States referred to a congressman as little Adam Schitt,” Colbert said. “What a miserable piece of Schiff.”

He continued: “The president writing schoolyard taunts seems shocking but let’s not forget when George Washington wrote ‘These federalist papers can bite my wooden balls. More like Alexander Cameltoe if you ask me.’”

Jimmy Fallon

On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon spoke about Trump’s preparation for the annual turkey pardoning for Thanksgiving, joking that “after the ceremony the turkey will be sent upstate to live on a farm with Jeff Sessions”.

This year people will be able to vote on which turkey gets pardoned. “You could tell those turkeys want to drag it out for as long as impossible because today they asked if that vote could happen in Florida,” Fallon joked.

In his Fox News interview, Trump said he would be visiting a war zone soon. “Troops were glad to hear that until they realised he was talking about Walmart on a Black Friday,” he said.
