Seth Meyers rips Donald Trump for proposed Meals on Wheels budget cuts

On Thursday's Late Night, host Seth Meyers laid into President Donald Trump's proposal to cut funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, which has provided assistance to Meals on Wheels. Per CNN, federal grants go toward about 3 percent of the meal program's national office budget.

"Meals on Wheels?" asked an incredulous Meyers. "How dead inside do you have to be to not want old people to get food?"

"Old people voted for you ... They believed you when you said you care about them. There's nothing more low-life than lying to the elderly."
