Seth Meyers Criticizes Trump’s ‘Oatmeal’ Brain War Remarks

Seth Meyers recently took a jab at President Donald Trump during an episode of “Late Night”. He sarcastically referred to Trump as a “genius marketer” while discussing the president’s latest comments regarding the U.S. engagement with Iran.

Seth Meyers Critiques Trump’s ‘Oatmeal Brain’ Remarks

During the segment, Meyers highlighted Trump’s attempt to redefine military action as a mere “excursion.” He suggested that this shift in language was likely a strategy to make the unpopular term “war” sound more palatable.

Miscommunication in Terminology

Meyers speculated on the communication breakdown that led to this confusion. “I think I know what happened here,” he remarked. “Trump was calling it a war, which is very unpopular. So someone on his team told him to call it an incursion. But his brain is oatmeal, so he heard ‘excursion,’ and no one corrected him.”

What Constitutes an ‘Excursion’?

He humorously questioned the appropriateness of the term, comparing it to leisure activities. “Did you see it on a brochure at the rental car place between snorkeling and cave tours? A war is not an excursion,” he said. “An excursion is apple-picking, which we all know is worse than a war.”

Connecting to Jeffrey Epstein

Meyers also brought attention to another controversy surrounding Trump, relating it to Jeffrey Epstein. He stated, “An excursion is when you go whale watching in the Bahamas or when you take a boat trip to Epstein’s island, WHICH HE DIDN’T DO.”

He pointed out Trump’s connections to Epstein through Justice Department files, noting that Trump flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times and referred to him as a “terrific guy.” This, he argued, contradicted the president’s denials of any close relationship with Epstein.

Conclusion

This segment added to the ongoing conversation about President Trump’s rhetoric and past associations. Meyers’ commentary provides an insightful, if sardonic, take on the current political atmosphere.
