Seth Meyers Critiques Trump’s ‘Out-Of-Touch’ Economy Remarks
Seth Meyers, host of “Late Night,” recently criticized President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the economy. During a rally focused on affordability, Trump claimed to be lowering prices, reducing inflation, and increasing American paychecks. Meyers was quick to challenge these assertions.
Seth Meyers Calls Out Trump’s Economic Claims
Meyers highlighted the disconnect between Trump’s remarks and everyday American experiences. While Trump suggested that families could afford more items this Christmas, Meyers argued that this was far from reality. He questioned the logic behind Trump’s statements, particularly in regard to children receiving fewer toys.
Trump’s Controversial Comments
During the rally, Trump proposed that American families could sacrifice some products, such as dolls and pencils, for financial benefits. He claimed that under his policies, children only needed a few dolls and could easily manage with “37 pencils” for learning. This statement struck Meyers as absurd, prompting him to ask who actually buys 37 dolls.
Meyers’ Reaction to Trump’s Remarks
Meyers described Trump’s comments as “out-of-touch.” He emphasized the contrast between Trump’s lifestyle and his advice to the average American. According to Meyers, while Trump preaches thriftiness, he surrounds himself with luxury. This irony was not lost on the audience, and Meyers expressed his disbelief over the practicality of Trump’s statements.
