Bad News for ‘Trump-Adjacent Weirdos’ Delights Seth Meyers
Late-night talk show host Seth Meyers has found a new source of material for his show, and it comes in the form of “Trump-adjacent weirdos” [3]. These are individuals who have been associated with former President Donald Trump in some way, whether through their work in his administration or their support of his policies. Meyers has been enjoying the recent bad news that has befallen some of these individuals, as it has provided him with plenty of fodder for his monologues and sketches.
The Fall of Mike Lindell
One of the most recent examples of bad news for a “Trump-adjacent weirdo” that delighted Meyers was the fall of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell [1]. Lindell has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has made numerous false claims about the 2020 presidential election being stolen from Trump. As a result, he has faced multiple lawsuits, including a defamation suit over his claims of election fraud. Meyers enjoyed seeing Lindell get word on camera that the defamation suit against him would proceed, as it provided him with an opportunity to mock Lindell and his conspiracy theories.
The Nightmare of Trump Tower Security Measures
However, Meyers himself has also been affected by the proximity of his studio to Trump Tower in New York City [4]. Due to security measures put in place around Trump Tower, the area surrounding Meyers’ studio has become a nightmare for both him and his staff. Meyers explained in a segment on his show that they have to deal with constant street closures, security checks, and other inconveniences that make it difficult to get to work on time. While not directly related to the “Trump-adjacent weirdos” that Meyers enjoys mocking, this situation has certainly added to his frustration with all things Trump-related.
The Downfall of Rudy Giuliani
Another “Trump-adjacent weirdo” who has recently fallen from grace is Rudy Giuliani [2]. Giuliani was once a respected lawyer and politician, serving as the mayor of New York City and later as Trump’s personal lawyer. However, his reputation has taken a hit in recent years due to his involvement in Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Giuliani has faced numerous lawsuits and investigations, including a recent decision by the New York State Bar Association to suspend his law license. Meyers has had a field day with Giuliani’s downfall, using it as material for multiple segments on his show.
The Continuing Saga of Matt Gaetz
Finally, Meyers has also been closely following the continuing saga of Rep. Matt Gaetz [3]. Gaetz is a Republican congressman from Florida who has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has been accused of multiple crimes, including sex trafficking. While Gaetz has denied all allegations against him, the investigation into his conduct continues. Meyers has used Gaetz’s troubles as material for multiple segments on his show, mocking both Gaetz and his supporters.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Seth Meyers has found a new source of material for his show in the form of “Trump-adjacent weirdos” who have fallen from grace in recent years. From Mike Lindell to Rudy Giuliani to Matt Gaetz, Meyers has enjoyed seeing these individuals face bad news and has used their misfortunes as material for his monologues and sketches. While some may criticize Meyers for focusing too much on politics and current events, it is clear that his approach resonates with many viewers who enjoy seeing those in power held accountable for their actions.
