MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: On the June 20 segment of 'A Closer Look', 'Late-Night' host Seth Meyers described what the results of Donald Trump and his supporters' demand for a drug test before his debate with President Joe Biden would show.

The NBC host humorously suggested that after a blood test, the only substance likely not to be found in the former president's system would be blood itself!



 

Seth Meyers mocks Trump's drug allegations against Biden

The host found it particularly ironic that Trump is now suggesting Biden might be on drugs, considering the former POTUS' own history of drug administartion.

“The Trump White House was handing out speed and other drugs like it was an NFL locker room in the ’70s,” Meyers said.

He added, “If they gave Trump a blood test, the only thing they wouldn’t find is blood. We’d have no idea which specific drugs he’s on, because the results would just say ‘One of everything.’”

Meyers' quips were not uncalled for since, according to Forbes, Trump made incendiary and unverified claims that Biden was high on cocaine during his State of the Union address, and reiterating his calls for Biden to undergo drug testing if they debate in the future.

The host highlighted a January report from the Defense Department’s inspector general, which disclosed that the White House Medical Unit during the Trump administration frequently distributed controlled substances, per CBS News.

The White House during Trump's administration was described as “awash in speed and Xanax,” according to Rolling Stone.

Meyers played a montage of Trump’s erratic behavior at public events, complete with sound effects and unusual antics additionally poking fun at Fox News host Sean Hannity for dubbing Biden "Jacked Up Joe."

Hannity had said, "The only event where Biden didn't totally, completely, and utterly humiliate himself, that was the state of the Union, where he appeared, as I said immediately thereafter, jacked-up. I called him Jacked-Up Joe. I don't know, Hyper-caffeinated Joe."

Seth Meyers applauded by viewers for his joke

Viewers heaped praise on Seth Meyers for his joke about the one substance -- blood -- that wouldn't show up in Trump's drug test. 

A particular viewer expressed, "I will never understand how a single person support Trump."

Following suit, another observer added, "How does drinking coffee helps one win a debate….utter stupidity."

Additionally, a viewer pointed out, "Can't wait for this round of insanity to be done. I don't think I can stand much more of this.."

A follower contributed, "Best monologue in a while."

A comment underscored, "Even if they took a drug test, he would say it was FAKE."

Another comment praised Meyers, "This was one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen I laughed so many times."

An individual elaborated further, saying, "Hilarious Seth the playbacks kill me everytime!"
