Late Night with Seth Meyers Roasts Trump and Thune Over Project 2025 Controversy
Late Night host Seth Meyers recently criticized Donald Trump for his claims of ignorance regarding Project 2025. Trump boasted about his meeting with Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, who is associated with the right-wing policy blueprint. Meyers called out Trump for promoting Vought's ties to the controversial agenda and played a clip of Trump admitting he never read it.
Meyers mocked Trump for openly admitting to lying during his campaign and questioned how long his luck would last. He also targeted Senate Majority Leader John Thune for appearing powerless in the face of Trump's Project 2025 agenda. Thune claimed they have no control over Vought's budget decisions, despite Congress being responsible for allocating funds.
Meyers highlighted the irony of Thune's statement, emphasizing that Congress holds the power to control spending. He humorously pointed out his own lack of knowledge in civics and criticized Thune for shirking responsibility. Meyers' monologue on Late Night shed light on the political dynamics surrounding Project 2025 and Trump's involvement in the controversial policy agenda.
