Seth Meyers roasts Trump's completely nonsensical press conference about crime in Washington D.C.

"We've had presidents who've lied before, but we've never had a president who was this easy to fact check."

Another day, another Donald Trump press conference that made little to no sense.

During Monday night's episode of Late Night, Seth Meyers broke down the president’s recent conference on crime in Washington D.C., during which Trump reeled off some stats that were proven wrong in real-time by CNN.

"We've had presidents who've lied before, but we've never had a president who was this easy to fact check," says Meyers. "But who are you going to believe? The stat nerds at CNN, or the guy who says we can lower drug prices by 1500 percent?"

Trump then proceeded to hold up a random chart that he introduced by saying, "These are different cities throughout the world...red is...OK?"

"Is this his new catchphrase now? He's just going to hold up a chart and say 'OK'?" asks Meyers. "He's like a lazy magician who doesn't make you take a card, he just holds one up and acts like that's what it was gonna be. 'You kids like magic? Watch this. Jack of Diamonds...OK?'"
