Seth Meyers: Trump sleeps in meetings for the same reason that raccoons are asleep when you go to the zoo [View all]
Seth Meyers devoted a segment of Late Night to the now-viral footage of President Donald Trump apparently dozing off during a Cabinet meeting, an awkward reality that landed Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a very uncomfortable spot on Capitol Hill this week.
Democratic congressman Ted Lieu confronted Rubio during testimony with a simple question: Had he been at “more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep?” He then showed the video to the room to make his point.
“That’s false. That’s false. I’ve never seen him fall asleep,” Rubio told the committee. “On the contrary, the guy doesn’t sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at 2 in the morning, he calls me at 5 in the morning.”
Meyers was ready for that one. “Yeah, we believe you,” he said. “That’s why he’s asleep during the day! It’s the same reason the raccoons are asleep whenever you go on a field trip to the Bronx Zoo. They’re up all night looking for a garbage can to knock over—which is also what Trump is probably doing.”
