Seth Meyers calls Trump's 'Hamilton' distraction a 'Scamilton'
Watch Next

Americans can't seem to stop obsessing over Trump's reaction to Hamilton -- and ignoring the grotesque corruption scandals already plaguing his administration.

Well, at least Seth Meyers gets it. During his segment on 'Closer Look,' Meyers explored just the tip of the Trump transition scandals. And there are so many -- from Trump using his personal cell phone to contact world leaders, to glaring business conflicts of interests to controversial cabinet appointments and the white nationalists who celebrated his election with Nazi salutes.

Everyone. please #BoycottHamilton so the rest of us can get tickets.
