Seth Meyers on Trump’s Moscow Negotiations: “We Have Enough”

Do you ever wake up having to remind yourself that we live in a country where the president openly lies, has paid off a porn star and enabled the separation of families at the Mexican border, and that it’s not just some awful episode of Black Mirror? On Late Night with Seth Meyers Wednesday night, the comedian took yet another chance to remind us that “nothing this president does is normal.”

This time, we were reminded of the complete through-the-looking-glass quality of the administration by Trump’s Moscow tower deal, the postponement of his former lawyer Michael Cohen’s testimony before Congress and his current attorney Rudy Giuliani’s continued falsehoods. Cohen put off his testimony due to alleged threats he received from the president and Giuliani. “No, I would say he’s been threatened by the truth,” retorted Trump, a man who wouldn’t recognize the truth if it was hiding under his outlandish comb-over.

Despite what we already know about Trump and his cronies’ actions, stuff that would end any other presidency, he’s still sitting in the Oval Office. Meyers compared Americans’ reactions to Trump and co.’s Russia lies to a drug bust where the deal’s already gone down.
