On Thursday, Late Night with Seth Meyers' A Closer Look segment once again turned the host's critical eye towards — what else? — Donald Trump lying about his own screwups.
Examining the reactions of both Kurds in Syria and Trump's own Republican supporters, Meyers pointed out that, despite the US Commander in Chief's assertions, few people aside from Trump himself seem to think anything he's done lately has resulted in "a great outcome."
In fact, Republicans have been struggling to mount credible defenses around the president on everything from Syria to the alleged quid pro quo with Ukraine, futilely building pillow forts in a hurricane.
"By the end of this whole thing Republicans are just gonna start pretending they don't even know who Donald Trump is," joked Meyers. "'That man was the president? I just assumed he was a Halloween decoration meant to scare away pranksters on Mischief Night!'"
"They've gone from 'there was no quid pro quo' to 'There was a quid pro but no quo'. Soon they're gonna try 'There was a quid, and there was a quo, but we are definitely not pros'."
