Seth Meyers humorously suggests Supreme Court decided to remove border barbed wire due to Trump injuring his hands in escape attempts
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Late-night television has long been a space where comedians take on the day's news and present it in a humorous light, and Seth Meyers is no exception.
On a recent episode of 'Late Night,' Meyers tackled the Supreme Court ruling that allows Border Patrol agents to remove razor wire from the US-Mexico border.
In a comical dig at former President Trump, the suggestion is made that the ruling's peculiar nature might be attributed to Trump attempting to escape, humorously implying that he's been cutting up his hands in the process.
Let's explore Meyers' clever commentary on this unexpected turn of events.
Melania Trump steps back into the spotlight for selective campaigning
Recent reports reveal that the former First Lady, Melania Trump, has plans to actively campaign on behalf of her ex-president husband.
In Meyers' signature style, he dived into the political landscape, highlighting reports of Melania Trump's selective campaign appearances: "just the ones she's subpoenaed for."
The late-night host then redirected his attention to an interview with presidential candidate Nikki Haley, during which she questioned Trump's mental fitness.
This prompted Meyers to humorously remark on Trump's confusion, joking that he might have mistaken Haley for the lady from "Law and Order."
Former President Trump, always one to be in the spotlight, held a rally in New Hampshire with three former Republican primary opponents—Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, and a teleprompter.
Trump's hand woes take center stage amid Supreme Court border ruling
The event unfolded as Trump's hand took center stage, covered in red sores, sparking speculation and humor across late-night television.
"The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that federal immigration agents can remove barbed wire that Texas officials put up at the US-Mexico border, siding with the Biden administration in a 5-4 vote. But, Seth Meyers is pretty sure they actually did it for Donald Trump," the article detailed, encapsulating Meyers' unique blend of satire and speculation.
Meyers adds a hilarious spin to the razor-wire ruling
Meyers, ever the jesting commentator, seized the opportunity to add his comedic touch to the ruling.
"Apparently, Trump's been cutting up his hands trying to escape," he joked, leading to a visual of a viral photo where Trump waves to crowds with visibly sore-covered hands outside a courthouse.
The mystery of the sores prompted speculation, with fellow late-night host Jimmy Fallon offering amusing suggestions earlier in the week, including the possibility that Trump "touched a Bible."
Closing with a rhetorical question, Meyers pondered, "What's a bigger bummer, that we got a former president with a handful of sores? Or that he's the frontrunner?."
