A despondent Seth Meyers said on Wednesday during his latest book, A Closer Look: “Well, Donald Trump won the 2024 election and will be president again for another four years, or eight, or 12, or whatever.”
“We live in an endless period of time where Donald Trump has always been and will always be the center of the universe. There can be no escape. “Everyone is paying tribute to our almighty and benevolent Supreme Leader.”
“Windmills does Causes cancer. Hannibal Lecter was a charming man. And if I’m lying, Arnold Palmer doesn’t have the biggest dick in the club. “Fuck me,” Myers added, referring to several of Trump’s more outlandish recent stories that somehow didn’t hurt his electoral chances.
After comments about Trump’s post-victory remarks, Myers turned his attention to the fallout from the win, starting with potential cabinet picks.

Musk, who Myers reminded viewers is the richest man in the world, “has contracts with the Pentagon” and also owns “one of the largest social media platforms.” He joined Trump, “the billionaire soon to be the most powerful man in the world for the second time, to consolidate his power over society and the economy,” Myers continued.

“I will even dare to say [Trump is] “Now, in my defense, I follow everything I’ve been taught about what makes a person good or bad,” he said.
Myers also compared election night to Christmas Eve. “If you know, on Christmas morning, you either wake up and find that Santa has left presents under the tree or he’s made a big mess in your chimney. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t drink milk, you know?
