Donald Trump seems to have "underestimated the incredible amount of public scrutiny he'd get as a presidential candidate." But don't worry, Seth Meyers is here to take A Closer Look.

The Late Night host spent his popular segment reminding viewers that before this seemingly never-ending election cycle began, "Donald Trump was a blustery New York City businessman known mostly to voters not for the person he was behind closed doors but for the character he played in tabloids and on TV." Whatever else happens in the campaign, it has "unearthed for public view all kinds of deeply unflattering information about Trump's business record, from his six bankruptcies to his loss of nearly $1 billion in 1995," Meyers said.

"There was also the impression that because Trump was wealthy he must also be smart, but the image of Trump as a genius billionaire has also been undercut during this campaign," Meyers added, "most recently by his own campaign aides, who talk about him the way you talk about a child."
