Seth Meyers Thinks Donald Trump’s ‘Creepy’ Cabinet Meeting Screams 1 Thing

Trump, who paused sweeping tariffs earlier this week after spooking markets, “seemed to need a self-esteem boost,” the “Late Night” host joked.

So, the president gathered his top officials for what Meyers called “a ritualistic puckering of the lips and kissing of the buttocks.”

The over-the-top praise from Cabinet members, Meyers said, wasn’t good.

“When your staff goes that over the top with praise, that’s how you know you fucked up,” he said. “I mean, they’re clearly overcompensating. They sound like Hollywood agents after a giant flop — ‘You crushed it. You killed it. Don’t listen to the critics. “The Emoji Movie” was art.’”

Meyers suggested even Trump appeared visibly uncomfortable during the meeting: “At some point, I have to believe even he is going to listen to all this slobbering and say, ‘Is this gross? Does anyone else feel like this is getting creepy and weird?’”
