Seth Meyers tried to say something nice about Donald Trump but didn’t exactly succeed.
The “Late Night” host offered up the joke after looking at some of the former president’s remarks to Fox News ’ Sean Hannity at a town hall event in Iowa on Tuesday.
Trump told Hannity he only planned to act like a dictator on “day one” of a new presidency if he were to be elected again, and compared himself to the infamous gangster Al Capone, whom he called “the greatest of all time if you like criminals.”
Meyers said Wednesday he wasn’t sure what else Trump could do to make his dictatorial intentions any more obvious.
“He’s made his intentions abundantly clear,” Meyers said. “At this point, the nicest thing you can say about him is that he’s an aspiring dictator, he’s in cognitive decline, and he’s the ‘greatest of all time if you’d like criminals.’”
He enlisted a video of Trump for that last bit.
