Would someone please PLEASE put together a montage of all the times Seth yells WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? after a Trump clip.
He brings me such joy that Seth.

One of the consistently vocal critics of Trump. I think "A Closer Look" is some of the best political/social commentary you can find.

[glynnismajor]

I absolutely adore you and your writers, Seth.

[Mr.Eternal]

03:08 Ok...As a foreigner I thought it was my issue when I didn't understand properly the line of reasoning of this guy.... but when he said "Tractors didn't hookup" had to rewind twice to see if this guy it's ACTUALLY saying soo sorry for you america

[IanMcGarrett]

He might buy a farm. He'll start by bankrupting some farmers so he can get the property at a reduced rate. That's the ticket. It's probably what his Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is doing.

[redleader]

...turns out "That Farmer"....was a the head of a Washington Farm Bureau lobby office. He is very well informed on farm policy. Everyone should hear his entire comments.

English isn't my first language and when i was learning it in schol we always used to watch speeches of the president to improve our language but since Trump has become president our teachers told us to not speak like him ever because it's very bad language an sometimes you don't even understand him.

[jomcdougall]

Since 2016 I've found my self terrified and laughing hysterically at the same time...

[fungoorstitch]

Hey trump. I live in Iowa and would be delighted to have you as a neighbor. It would save me the trouble of driving my combine all the way to Washington to run through your house on behalf of the entire state and country.

[mackenzie]

God bless the staff member who made that Jar Jar Binks connection

[lostmarble]

I was not expecting that jar-jar binks comparison but damn is it fitting.

[puggirl]

Did anybody hear the theme from "Green Acres" when he said he's going to buy a farm. Imagine Melania as Zsa Zsa Gabor. Hilarious. I date myself.

[Paradox_]

These videos are always an INSTANT click for me! Thank you so much Seth!

[AccidentalNinja]

"Retire to a farm." From my understanding, you don't "retire" to farming. Farming is almost constant work, or maybe just constant work.

[MichaelReeser]

"I'll just get a medium farm. I don't want to work that much." What an insult to the family farmers that put in long hours and hard work.

[Cypresssina]

I've never wished for someone to "buy the farm" quite so much.

[tylerkochman]

Always love to see a new A Closer Look segment

[danielessex]

This is the guy who calls his administration as "the most transparent" never gives you a straight answer.

[a.westenholz]

I gave a thumbs up just for the Jar Jar Binks. That was hilarious! The rest was on point as well, as usual.

[starkravingralph]

l LOVE when Seth breaks! He always just goes with it and then takes it further! 😂💖
