Seth Meyers Fires Back at President Trump For Calling Him a ‘Deranged Lunatic’: ‘That’s What You Do to Us’

Seth Meyers slammed President Donald Trump for calling him a “deranged lunatic,” which has escalated their public war of words.

“When someone is ranting and raving about you, ignore them,” Meyers, 51, who hosts NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, said during his November 3 monologue. “Chances are, they’re just going to move on and rant about something else.”

Meyers’ entire monologue was dedicated to Trump, 79, following a fiery Truth Social post in which the president wrote that Meyers is “the least talented person to ‘perform’ live in the history of television.”

“In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years,” the politician continued. “In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults.”

Calling Meyers a “truly deranged lunatic,” Trump added: “NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

On air, Meyers weighed in on the government shutdown — now in its 35th day — which has paused SNAP benefits for millions of people.

“If you’re worried you won’t be able to afford your next meal, good news: Donald Trump renovated a bathroom in the White House,” Meyers said on air, later presenting a montage of video clips in which the president referenced bathrooms, sinks, toilets and showers.

“I say this with sincerity: [I] don’t want to talk about catapults. I don’t want to talk about bathrooms. And I’m realizing that I’m starting to sound like a deranged lunatic,” Meyers explained. “But that’s what you do to us. You make us talk about what you’re talking about, and then we all sound crazy.”

The late-night host also called out President Trump for saying in his post that he hadn’t watched his show “in years.”

“Just ten months ago, you wrote, ‘I got stuck watching Marble Mouth Meyers [for] the other night,’” said Meyers. “First of all, ‘Stuck?’ I find it hard to believe you let other people decide what to put on. Everything about your vibe screams, ‘I call the clicker!’”
