LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a classic 'Late Night' monologue, Seth Meyers dished out his signature wit, diving straight into current events and skewering former President Trump's recent remarks.

Meyers, setting the tone with his quip-laden delivery, addressed Trump's eyebrow-raising statements at an Iowa campaign rally.

From olympic teases to Trump's civil war claims

"It's 2024, and you know what happens later this year. Oh, damn it! I was going to say the Olympics," Meyers teased, injecting humor into the discussion.

He swiftly moved on to dissect Trump's critique of President Biden's speech abilities, contrasting it with Biden's eloquence and poking fun at the irony.

But the real zingers came when Meyers delved into Trump's assertion that the Civil War "could have been negotiated."

Meyers mocks Trump's trivialization of history and Joker-esque campaign ideas

The comedian reacted with humor, emphasizing the absurdity of such a notion. "That was crazy enough, but then he said the Gettysburg Address could have been an e-mail," Meyers quipped.

Continuing his roast, Meyers highlighted Trump's call for releasing Capitol rioters, drawing parallels between Trump's stance and a hypothetical alignment with the Joker's campaign platform, cleverly blending political critique with pop culture references.

Meyers' comedic take brought attention to the outlandishness of Trump's statements, using humor as a tool to critique and contextualize the former president's controversial comments.
