Trump Accepts the Nomination: A Closer Look- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Ted Cruz not endorsing Trump definitely made me respect him about 4x more than I did before...

too bad 4 × 0 is still equal to 0.

[DarkSali]

That is probably the funniest and best "A Closer Look" ever. Impressive how Seth manages it to make it better and better. :)

[roalmabiu]

5:26 "L G... B T Q..."
"Okay Mr. Trump, now cover your other eye and read the next line."

[aromaladyellie]

This entire election thing is funny until I remember that it's _actually happening_. And then I go from laughing to wanting to cry.

[benson]

As much as I dislike ted cruz I have to admire him for refusing to endorse trump.... mind you it wasn't because of trumps policies, just his reprehensible behavior, but at least he stood up to the guy.

[peppeddu]

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE REPUBLICANS?
CAN'T THEY CHOOSE A NORMAL GUY FOR ONCE?

[amt.]

Seth and his writers are hilarious. I've laughed during every single video and the "A Closer Look" videos are the best because they're funny and informative and Seth can give his opinion and its awesome

[espec]

I can't believe it, I now respect Ted Cruz, amazing.

[bhagyashreepatil]

Seth's puppy impression is so cute!

[gststg]

I'm listening to this while working out... Exploded in laughter ... Happy that Seth stepped up when Colbert became garbage

[jimbostephens]

"He runs on boos." Give a raise to the writer who came up with that one.

[lenichimer]

I feel sad for his supporters and the people who believe him. It must be horrible to think you live in such a nightmare. Poor people...

[francesco]

Uff...so let me see if i got this right: In a speech republican said that american is weak, the enemy are not scared and the allies don't trust them.
So the plan to change this is say "we may not help our allies if we don't want to even if they are part of the NATO".
I can see why Putin likes Trump, he gives so many assist...

[imadilleva]

"A closer look" is always one of my favorite bits you do! Keep pulling back the curtain.

[CapCityMover]

Not a big fan of Cruz but after that speech. I have waaay more respect for him now.

[pdoylemi]

If anyone in Somalia were watching that speech, they would be saying, "Damn, I though things were bad HERE! Is there anyway we can help those poor Americans?" Trevor Noah said it well - after that speech I'm not worried about making America great again, I just want to make my underwear dry again!

[KamradO]

Trump's response about plants reads like a unit from English textbook for foreign students. "I have a friend who builds plants. He builds big plants. He builds automobile plants and computer plants. He doesn't build apartments. He doesn't build office spaces. What does he build? He builds plants"

[KingOfMadCows]

What is going on? Is Trump an evil Forrest Gump? That interview was incomprehensible. It's like he stumbled into the presidential nomination through dumb luck.

[vdb]

One of the best "Closer Look" episodes. Hilarious!
