Watch Seth Meyers Take a Closer Look Inside the President’s Immigration Advisor Clown Car

The president, averaging at least a half-dozen dubious actions per hour at this point, recently encouraged border agents to flout immigration laws by barring lawful immigrants and stonewalling any judges who gave them “trouble” (read: did their jobs). Seth Meyers turned that eyebrow-raising tidbit into the keystone of his latest “Closer Look” on Wednesday night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, unpacking both the Trump administration’s recent hard-line actions on immigration and the decidedly un-dynamic duo advising the big guy on it all.
Meyers hits the latest lowlights of Trump’s questionable-at-best “national emergency,” including the semantics game the “wannabe Property Brother” plays to convince folks he’s building his wall as promised, his fawning over the constitution (which, for all he knows, Nicolas Cage still has in his possession), his desire to “do something about asylum” and “get rid of judges,” and a bizarre recent meeting with border agents in which he praised their looks, then told them his job was harder than theirs in the same breath. The wanton incompetence and incoherence of it all speaks for itself—Meyers simply hoists Trump with his own oranges/origins petard and keeps it moving.
