In a late-night post, Trump denounced “a sick rumor”.
2 in the morning

In a post on Truth Social in the middle of the night, President Donald Trump reacted furiously to a rumor that was visibly haunting him at 2 a.m., that NBC intended to extend Seth Meyers’ contract to continue hosting Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The contract

Trump kicked off his late-night post on his social network by denouncing “a sick rumor” claiming that NBC would like to extend the contract of Seth Meyers, whom he portrays as one of the least talented late-night hosts on the market.
"There is a sick rumor going around"

“There is a sick rumor going around that Fake News NBC extended the contract of one of the least talented Late Night television hosts out there, Seth Meyers,” the president wrote.
Insulting Meyers

Trump continues in his message by insulting Meyers: “He has no Ratings, Talent, or Intelligence, and the Personality of an insecure child.”
The reasons

Trump then questions why NBC would do this and says he’ll make it his mission to find the answer: “So, why would Fake News NBC extend this dope’s contract. I don’t know, but I’ll definitely be finding out!!!”.
May 2024

And yet… Seth Meyers has already extended his contract with NBCUniversal… back in May 2024!
Until 2028

A contract that ensures he’ll remain at the helm of Late Night with Seth Meyers until 2028, or for the duration of Donald Trump’s second term as president.
The 79-year-old president

A number of observers have highlighted this contrast, pointing out that rather than ranting and raving on social networks, the 79-year-old president would do better to go and rest at night.
