Wow. Seth Meyers absolutely nailed this rundown of trumps greatest hits. 😅
[Twitter video]
For those who don't/won't do Twitter but for some reason clicked in anyway, or who just want to enjoy most of it in print for the hell of it:
Presumptive GOP nominee for president, again, for a third time, despite the fact he is a twice-impeached, four-time criminal indictee and racist whos been found liable for fraud and sexual abuse. Banned from doing business in the state of New York for three years. Owes over half a billion dollars in fines. Took millions from foreign governments while he was president. Tried to extort a foreign country to interfere in an election in 2020 and encouraged another to help him win in 2016, Mr Meyers started, however, he did not stop there.
The host said that Mr Trump actively undermined a nations response to a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and let a deadly disease spiral out of control. Is about to go on trial for breaking campaign finance laws by paying hush money to cover up an affair during the 2016 campaign. Orchestrated a months-long coup attempt that culminated in a violent insurrection to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power and install him as an unelected dictator. Stole classified documents and obstructed attempts to get them back. Has never once won the popular vote and has been routinely rejected by a majority of Americans in election after election.
At the point you may think Meyers has covered it all, he reminds us of many other bizarre Mr Trump moments.
Mr Trump spews deranged conspiracy theories about everything from climate change to immigration, to vaccines to windmills. Glitches on three-syllable words, two-syllable words and one-syllable words, cheats at golf, cant spell his own name, his wifes name or the words indicted, education, unprecedented, stolen, Denmark. Kentucky or tap, Meyers said.
And is on top of everything else, the single weirdest, most off-putting human being on the face of the f****** planet, he concluded.

Well, that wasn't quite his conclusion, because he continued:
And this is the same planet Ted Cruz lives on, so that's saying something.
