Seth Meyers has weighed in on the U.S.' attack on Venezuela and abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, theorising about what President Donald Trump's motivations could possibly be.
"Even the most astute observers remain perplexed as to what could have possibly motivated this attack given that the Trump administration has played its cards so close to the vest," Meyers said.
He then immediately launched into a supercut of Trump and his supporters blatantly stating their desire to seize Venezuela's significant oil reserves.
"Dammit, I just wish there were clues," quipped Meyers.
The Late Night host also aired a montage of Trump claiming to be against foreign wars and regime changes, an assertion which seems at odds with his actions as of late.
"I still can't actually believe anyone thought Trump was telling the truth about being anti-war," said Meyers. "You really thought Donald Trump, the most thin-skinned, impulsive man on the planet, would suddenly discover the concept of restraint once he gained control of the world's most powerful military? Giving Donald Trump control of the U.S. military is like giving the cast of The Real Housewives an open bar and a 'one free slap' coupon."
