In his final Late at night In Tuesday's pre-presidential election episode, Seth Meyers lamented tied polls and looked back on a decade of Donald Trump's policy mistakes.
“None of us can control what happens tomorrow,” Meyers told the audience Monday night. “We can only control how drunk we are when it happens.”
THE Late at night The host went on to share a montage of political pundits reviewing election polling information, which shows Kamala Harris and Donald Trump locked in a dead tie.
“How is it possible that so many polls are tied? Are they doing the first half of the survey at a craft coffee shop in Williamsburg and the second half of the survey in the beer line at a Kid Rock concert? Meyers asked the audience. “How come exactly half the country thinks Trump is an amoral psychopath who would destroy American democracy, and the other half thinks he is an amoral psychopath who would destroy American democracy – but it's worth it because he's a really good dancer.”
The comedian also touched on the surprising Iowa poll released last weekend that showed Harris favoring Trump. “The only thing more shocking than Harris winning Iowa would be for Harris to win Mar-a-Lago,” Meyers said, “and then Mar-a-Lago to win best place on Trip Advisor to host a wedding that doesn't will be interrupted by an ex. The president makes a long speech about Arnold Palmer having a horse… (The joke was apparently a reference to many of Trump's indiscretions.)
Meyers went on to joke about Trump's numerous complaints about the Iowa poll, showing footage of the Republican candidate criticizing the data in several appearances at rallies. “I think even Trump can sense that the vibes are bad, because he seemed pretty dejected at his rallies this weekend… he seems like a guy at the back of the bar mumbling to nobody about an old flame,” he said.
THE Late at night The host also addressed Trump's recent statement that, if elected, he would allow RFK Jr. to “go crazy” on health care policy.
“Generally speaking, no one who knows anything about medicine says the word, 'I'm going to go crazy about medicine,'” Meyers said. “There is no show called Crazy doctors.”
In an epic conclusion for the beloved Late at night In the segment, Meyers then gave a quick breakdown of Trump's decade of gaffes, saying to begin, “Trump is not subtle about the threat he poses. It's even starting to look like a road sign that says Road Closed.”
Meyers gave the six-minute overview in a single sentence, and touched on January 6 and Trump's long campaign to overturn the 2020 election, as well as the former president's mishandling of the pandemic — “he lied about its severity, promoted fictitious treatments for it.” , said we could cure it by injecting disinfectant” – along with his criticized economic policies, his numerous offensive comments about women and his cavalier and dangerous handling of hurricanes in Puerto Rico.
Meyers also played clips of Trump's various viral missteps, including when he couldn't close an umbrella, walked up the steps of Air Force One with toilet paper on his shoes, dressed as a sanitation worker, and couldn't open he takes her to a garbage truck and pretended to work at McDonald's.
“So you know, it's a no-brainer,” Meyers told the crowd to laughter and applause. “I've been talking about this man for almost a decade now, as evidenced by the fact that everything I just listed is in my brain.” He added that Tuesday offers “an opportunity to say as a nation we want him to go away, and I really hope that happens.”
