MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: During his campaign trail this week, Donald Trump made a pit stop at Chick-fil-A, where he ordered 30 milkshakes and "some chicken."

However, Seth Meyers finds it unlikely that Trump paid for the substantial meal order.



 

Seth Meyers mocks Trump's Chick-fil-A stop, says 'he sure did not pay'

It all started after Meyers played a clip of Trump asking for "30 milkshakes, and some chicken" at Chick-fil-A.

Meyers quipped that Trump probably thought Chick-fil-A was short for "Chick-fil-Layaway." He also found it amusing that Trump simply ordered "some chicken" instead of specifying a menu item.

He said, "That is former President Donald Trump taking a brief stop at a Chick-fil-A right before we came on the air with these images you're looking at. -[ As Trump ] "And that's just for me. You can pour the milkshakes into one big trough and then just get me a straw".

"Also, what do you mean you want "some chicken"? You have to be more specific. It's Chick-fil-A. Everything's chicken!". 

"That's like walking into a hotel bar and asking for 'a glass of your finest alcohol.' Are you an undercover extraterrestrial?" Meyers quipped, adding, "I would like to taste some of your finest chicken meat. Perhaps an arm or a beak?"

The 'Late Night' host then found humor in Trump's attempt at small talk with the employees, jokingly asking if business was booming and if everyone was getting rich.

“It’s like he’s never talked to normal human beings in his life. Does he think they own Chick-fil-A? Although if you ask me, they deserve to be rich, certainly richer than Donald Trump,” Meyers said humorously. 

He added, “And they deserve a raise for working that shift, because he for sure did not pay". 

Seth Meyers' comments on Trump's Chick-fil-A stop spark social media laughter

Meyers' remarks on social media sparked a wave of hilarity, with one person writing, ""Is business good? Everyone is getting rich right?" is the most braindead, out of touch garbage you could say to a fast food worker". 

Another noted, "Did Donnie pay for the Chick-fil-A? If he did, that'd actually be news". 

One more viewer noted, "Walking into Chik-fil-A and asking for “some chicken” is definitely what you say when you have never been there before or even seen their menu".

Another viewer noted, "Is there a picture of Trump pulling out his wallet and actually paying for anything? I don't think that exists". 

"Do you like ice cream, too?" Is 1000% more relatable than asking fast food workers if they're getting rich," another viewer observed from Trump's clip.

Last but not the least, praises were in for Meyers also, as one viewer noted, "Seth’s act just gets better and better. His sassiness and the way he can’t stop smiling and laughing at his own jokes / mistakes kills me the little new bit at the end, priceless. I hope we have many more years to go with this this one".
