On Saturday, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump took to his own social media platform to rage against another late night host who hurt his fragile ego. This time, the target was NBC's Seth Meyers.
Trump posted:
"NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)."
"He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his 'show' is a Ratings DISASTER."
"Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!"
Then Trump's FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, reposted Trump's message on his official X account.
NBC/Universal parent company General Electric is currently seeking FCC approval for a deal with Comcast. That's the same barrel CBS was over when they paid off Trump's frivolous lawsuit over 60 Minutes.

Trump has attacked Meyers before. He posted about the Saturday Night Live alum back in October of 2022 and again in January and August of 2025.
Then on November 1, 2025, Trump posted:
"Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to 'perform' live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise."
"I watched his show the other night for the first time in years."
Trump's Truth Social posts from January and August indicate otherwise.
Trump added what had him riled, posting:
"In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic."
"Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? - NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!"
In the offending episode, Meyers' "A Closer Look" segment pointed out Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote" and offered a montage of times Trump whined about electric versus steam aircraft carrier catapults, as if he had a clue about the design and engineering of either.
It was like Trump's toilet, showers, and dishwasher rants where he simply regurgitated something he heard someone say once to prove he was knowledgeable to his audience.
On Monday, Meyers addressed Trump's weekend call to fire him, saying:
"You know, in our increasingly isolated digital age, where we spend more time scrolling apps than shaking hands, a true moment of genuine human connection can be rare which is why I deeply appreciated this thoughtful piece of fan mail I got over the weekend."
After sharing Newsmax's coverage of Trump's Truth Social post, Meyers added:
"You guys, they said my name on TV! It's not often you hear the name Seth Meyers on TV before midnight."
You can watch Meyers riff on Trump's call to fire him here:
Meyers added that drawing Trump's ire wasn't unusual, saying:
"I'm also aware that being attacked this weekend by the president doesn’t make me special in any way, shape or form. I was simply on the same sh*t list as Christopher Wray, James Comey, Indiana Republicans, Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, Marjorie Taylor Greene and former President Joe Biden."
But what exactly set the POTUS off?
Referring to Trump's last post about him, Meyers stated:
"So catapults set him off last time. What was it this time?"
"Well, he posted on Saturday, and referred to 'last night' which means it was probably something I said on Friday, but our Friday show was a repeat."
"Which repeat? The catapult show. So it was the catapults again."
Meyers gently reminded Trump he'd drawn from that well before, saying:
"And with respect, Mr. President, you can't get mad a second time for the same thing when it's in a repeat."
People were firmly Team Meyers in Trump's latest feud.
To be fair to the 79-year-old Trump, remembering something for two whole weeks is difficult for an elderly person who shows Trump's level of cognitive decline.
We must remember that this is someone whose doctors keep giving him a cognitive assessment that he keeps mistaking for an IQ test.
