President Donald Trump has launched a fresh attack on late-night talk show host Seth Meyers, suggesting that his show is "probably illegal" because it is 100% anti-Trump. In a recent social media post, Trump called Meyers a "truly deranged lunatic," criticizing him for mocking his speech to members of the US military during his latest monologue.
The comments are the latest in a long line of attacks from Trump against Meyers, who has hosted NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" since 2014. In August, Trump floated a rumor that NBC had extended Meyers' contract, despite the network signing a four-year extension with him last year. At the time, Trump called Meyers "a dope" and claimed he had no ratings, talent, or intelligence.
Trump's criticism of Meyers comes after weeks of scathing social media posts from the former reality TV star about the state of late-night television. He has made claims that Jimmy Kimmel is next to be axed from ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and that NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" will follow suit.
Meyers' show has become a platform for him to tackle topics like Trump's speeches, his policies, and the state of US politics. His monologues often feature biting satire and pointed critiques of the President's actions, which seems to have made Trump's targets in recent months.
Trump's attacks on Meyers and other late-night hosts have raised concerns about the limits of free speech and the role of public figures like himself as critics. While some may see his comments as a legitimate exercise of free speech, others argue that they are an attempt to silence and intimidate critics who disagree with him.
As one thing is for certain: Seth Meyers has proven himself to be a formidable late-night host, using his platform to challenge Trump's policies and hold him accountable for his actions. It remains to be seen how Trump will respond to this next salvo from the comedian-turned-talk-show-host.

... he thinks he can just attack people on social media and get away with it? newsflash dude: satire is a part of being a late-night host, and if you're gonna get roasted by someone like seth meyers, maybe you should focus on doing your job instead of trying to silence critics 
... and what's really sad is that some people are actually taking trump's side and defending his behavior 
... it just goes to show how divided we are as a country right now 
... anyway, I'm just gonna keep on watching seth meyers' show and enjoying the laughs and clever commentary he brings to the table 
... at least someone's still being honest about trump's nonsense 
. It's just weird how Trump thinks he can just intimidate people with his Twitter fingers 
. Newsflash, Donald: satire is not hate speech, it's just comedy 
.
. I mean, I know some ppl might say that Meyers' show is too anti-trump, but honestly, isn't that what we need right now - someone to hold our leaders accountable? 
Trump's just trying to silence him and shut down free speech, which is super messed up 
. Anyway, can we please focus on more positive news for once? 
. I mean, the guy's not afraid to tackle tough topics or poke fun at Trump's antics 
... that would just be ridiculous 
... either way, I think Meyers is doing a great job of staying on message and keeping it real 
.
, I'm so done with Trump's tantrums! He thinks he can just attack Seth Meyers on social media and get away with it? Newsflash, Donald: sarcasm is not a crime, and mocking your own speeches won't make you look good 
Trump needs to take a deep breath, calm down, and remember that being the President doesn't give him a free pass to insult others online 
. The fact that you're trying to silence critics like Meyers is just sad 
. Can we please just focus on real issues instead of petty beefs? 
he can't just take a joke anymore, but honestly who does that kinda comedy? it's like, you gotta poke fun at someone's ego and they get all bent outta shape 
.
. Anyway, I love how Meyers keeps it real and holds Trump accountable for his actions 
.

and Meyers is no joke, he's been killing it on late night tv since 2014 
what's next, attacking the whole network for being "fake news" or whatever 
can't wait to see how this one plays out 
. Trump's always going to find a way to whine about someone who's not kissing up to him. Newsflash, Donald: if you can't handle some tough questions and satire, maybe you shouldn't be the one being satirized 
. Anyway, back to this platform - can we please just get rid of the notification system? It's so distracting when I'm trying to scroll through a thread without being poked every 5 seconds 
Come on, Donny! Get some help or something! 
. it's like, you can't silence critics by name-calling and insults. meyers is just doing his job as a comedian and host, and if people don't agree with him, that's okay, that's free speech 
. at the end of the day, it's just entertainment and if people want to watch comedy shows that are anti-trump, that's their prerogative 
. let's see how this all plays out in the future 
... it seems like Trump is trying to silence people who disagree with him 
... maybe it's just because Seth Meyers called out his weird speeches during that US military visit?
