Trump Threatens a Government Shutdown over His Wall: A Closer Look- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

3:02 ”...not funding the wall will go down as the worst thing for this administration...” **Has a treasonous White House with children in cages**

ALRIGHTY.

As an older American, still working, and living in the country I was born and raised in; I so look forward to the Trump era ending. How taxing this has been. I can only hope, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Man, I hope that's true for this country. Cheers.

[jillyburt]

Trump said that Mexico would pay for the wall. Why aren't people pointing that out? Call him on it.

[ShavaChihera]

Is it crazy that I have to turn to Seth for real news?

[Therealbackslabbath]

I’ve watched so much Seth Meyers over the last two years that I sometimes forget I’m not living in America, I feel like I’m right there with you guys....

"Stephen Miller is the only person on Earth who would be less creepy if he wore a hockey mask" is the truest, funniest joke I've yet heard from you. Well fuggin' done. Whew. Wiping tears away.

Don’t forget he looked at the damn sun with no eye protection during the eclipse 🤣

[theveganvillainess]

Political genius? Compared to what? A rake?

“Elect me or I’ll nuke the world” 2020 Trump tweet

[VanlifewithAlan]

The man with the greatest memory in the world cannot remember a letter of intent relating to one of the largest projects in his life! Is that possible?

[joenesvick]

Eveyone always talked about how rich Trump is, why doesn’t he just pay for the wall himself?

[emmbeesea]

Trump also said the wall would be see-through. That's the solution: the wall is already built and it's see-theough; you can't see it!

[imwatchinberniemac]

“Big sections of wall”. damn, people voted for this man. Adult people

[t.p.w.]

"War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength."

[NewMessage]

Wait.. is Donnie a 'political genius'? 'Cause... they voted for him because he WASN'T a politician... so...?

[TheWheelchairGuy]

Who is paying for the wall?
Mexico
Mexic
Mexi
Mex
Me

[Sleeping_Insomiac]

Truth is truth.
And the mime is showing you exactly the wall you'll get...

[mikesheppard]

Honestly, as somebody not from the US I have to ask, how on earth is he still your president?!

[VianneyCreates]

Out of all of the crazy stuff going on up to today, Mattis resigning because he has a moral compass and cares about our service members (when tRump does not), is the scariest. We are screwed.

[Dayman]

Boy they really pulled out all the stops for the season 2 finale of this fiasco
