TRUMP RAGES: IS MOCKING THE PRESIDENT ON TV ‘PROBABLY ILLEGAL’?

The feud between Donald Trump and Late Night host Seth Meyers has just escalated to an unprecedented level! After being mocked by Meyers for his comments on catapults, the former President (sic) fired back in a social media post, posing a shocking question: Is mocking the President… a criminal act?

 

Seth Meyers Dares to Touch… Aviation Technology!

The fuse for this latest conflict was the recent Asia trip by President Donald Trump. Specifically, Meyers couldn’t resist when Trump, while addressing troops in Japan, announced he would issue an executive order to bring back the use of steam-powered catapults on aircraft carriers, replacing the modern electromagnetic technology.

In a segment titled “Seth Translates Trump to English“, Meyers sarcastically referred to Trump’s address as an “expert treatise” with maximum mockery!

“Experts say it would cost billions to go back to the old system, but Trump thinks he knows more about aviation than everyone else because he dances like one of those guys that holds the signaling sticks on the runway,” Meyers joked, accompanied by an edited clip making Trump look like an aircraft marshaller.

The Explosive ‘Truth Social’ Post: “NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, AND PROBABLY ILLEGAL!”

As usual, Trump did not hesitate to hit back. The 79-year-old President (sic, at the time of the article) unleashed his fury on Truth Social on Saturday, November 1, calling Seth Meyers (51) a “truly deranged lunatic” and the “least talented person to ‘perform’ live in the history of television.”

But what stunned the media and legal circles was his dramatic conclusion:

“Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? – NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

This all-caps line is not just a typical insult but an explosive question, as a sitting President (sic, in the article) implies that a comedian criticizing him could be breaking the law!

The war between politics and late-night comedy has once again become hotter and more intense than ever. How will Meyers respond to this quasi-legal threat?
