Seth Meyers is at it again, with quips and jokes about President Donald Trump.
In the “A Closer Look” segment of his late-night show, the host referred to the president’s latest faux pas with his audio arrangements.
Seth Meyers jokes about Donald Trump’s audio troubles amid the White House TV pool standoff
According to The Wrap, the President spoke at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the White House, albeit without the sound. The debacle was reportedly caused by the press’s boycott of Trump, following his ban on three news outlets.
Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from any White House coverage. What started as Trump’s way of shutting down criticism has now evolved into a very real technical problem. The whole press pool has stood by the banned news outlets and boycotted White House coverage.
With their boycott went their microphones. As a result, nobody could hear what the president was saying at the ribbon cutting at the launch of a new helipad.
To start off, Meyers mocked the fact that the president had not figured out that audio would emerge as a problem with no press.
“Yeah, apparently he forgot the press pool is also who brings the microphones. If you’re going to ban news organizations from the White House, you really need to learn how to project,” he joked.
Despite the awkward situation, Meyers also revealed that this “may have accidentally cracked the code” on how to properly cover the president.
“We don’t need to hear what he’s saying. He’s either bragging or lying. Let’s just lose the sound,” he said. “Basically, use the media as a baby monitor. We can see where he is and whether he’s awake, without hearing all the crying. You know, then if something goes down, we’ll pause the movie and go check on him.”
Meyers also joked that the helicopter’s noise in the background may just be the way his speeches sound anyway.
