'Boo hoo': Seth Meyers has no sympathy for Trump's coronavirus cabin fever
Watch Next

Cabin fever is setting in across America as people stay home due to the coronavirus, and the White House is no exception. Recording from his private study (definitely not a garage), Late Night host Seth Meyers noted on Thursday that President Donald Trump is reportedly so bored he's actually been going to meetings.

"It's really gotta suck for everyone else in the White House now that Trump is trapped inside and showing up to meetings," said Meyers. "It's like trying to work from home while babysitting your kids." (Insert obligatory caveat that it isn't babysitting if they're your kids.)

Meyers notes Trump's boredom could be part of the reason he's so eager to reopen the country in a few weeks, despite medical experts saying the coronavirus crisis is unlikely to have abated by then. To Trump's cabin fever, Meyers says: "Boo hoo."

"I'm sorry you're bored stuck in America's most famous house that has its own personal chef and a bowling alley."
