Ever since Donald Trump was indicted (a.k.a. indicated) by a New York grand jury last Thursday, multiple news outlets have framed the story as a history-making first in American politics. While it’s true that Trump is the first former president to be indicted on criminal charges, Seth Meyers thinks that many media outlets are ignoring a key point in reporting on that single aspect of the story: It’s not just any old former POTUS we’re talking about—it’s Donald Trump.
While Trump and his cronies seemed surprised by last week’s indictment, the Late Night host was particularly amused by the wild rantings of Trump’s “two oddly shaped adult sons,” Don Jr. and Eric Trump.
“They took to right-wing media and full-blown hysterics, raging against the indictments, to the point where it seemed like they were all about to break down sobbing,” Meyers said. “while also insisting that Trump’s enemies were trying to destroy America and that Trump should essentially be allowed to commit whatever crimes he wants without consequences.”
