Seth Meyers, a seemingly perennial critic of Donald Trump, recently found himself in the crosshairs of the former president's ire once again.
Trump took to his platform to deliver a scathing critique of the NBC late-night host, labeling him "Marble Mouth Meyers" and accusing him of being a mere puppet for what he described as "the Scum that runs Comcast."
In a series of posts, Trump expressed his disdain for Meyers’ comedic jabs, particularly regarding the president-elect’s comments on significant topics, including California wildfires.
Meyers had joked about Trump, stating that it was refreshing to have someone provide simple explanations, likening Trump to “Kid Science” for his remarks on rain.
It’s no secret that late-night talk shows have increasingly transformed into platforms for political commentary rather than traditional entertainment.
Trump further claimed that Meyers' show, along with others from NBC, represents a direct attack on the Republican Party.
He mentioned that these programs aren't mere entertainment; they operate as vehicles for "political hits" against him and his supporters, calling for accountability from Comcast and NBC for their perceived bias.
In a pointed statement, Trump connected this type of programming to the broader leftist agenda, suggesting that there should be repercussions for companies which promote such content.
His stance resonates with many who are frustrated by the cancel culture and perceived media bias against conservative values.
Trump's commentary is not only a defense of himself but signifies a larger narrative embraced by conservatives when it comes to media interactions.
As he continues to challenge what he views as unjust media treatment, the divide between traditional entertainment and political correctness only seems to grow wider.
