Seth Meyers 'Closer Look' on WHCD shooting and Trump

tvApr 28, 202618205

In his "Closer Look" segment, Seth Meyers highlighted reporting that MAGA influencers were paid to coordinate talking points after the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting. Meyers criticized Donald Trump for repeatedly insisting the White House needs a ballroom, saying Trump is the only president to press that demand. He also flagged Kash Patel as a name being floated for a senior White House role and tied Patel's prospects to the same coordinated messaging ecosystem. Meyers said these developments matter because paid influencer campaigns, presidential demands about White House facilities, and personnel picks reshape public perceptions of national security and presidential priorities.

The administration accuses the plaintiffs challenging the ballroom’s construction of having “Trump derangement syndrome” and claims it would have prevented Saturday’s assassination attempt.

Trump stayed home from the WHCD for 4+ years without a problem. I see a free solution to this issue.

Why do people not realize that Trump is the direct cause of Trump derangement syndrome? No Trump, no syndrome. Don’t blame the victims.

No Epstein file None of them need an underground Epstein islandesque hotel This is bs

Trump not staging a fake assassination attempt would have prevented Sunday's "assassination attempt".

Honor your oath of office or resign.6

Why even repeat these absurd claims? Trump is stealing from taxpayers with the help of his Republican co-conspirators.

Trump has taken a violent incident and has his political sycophants rush out to support his project for a monument to himself in a ballroom. He took little time now to spin propaganda for it. The Press Awards are private, not a Government event. Trump wants to turn the ballroom into Mar-a-Lago.

It's just me4

open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei... They used social media posts as evidence for the filing. "Beclowned" is the perfect descriptor for their actions - and the DOJ as a whole. * Apologies to clowns for the negative connotation.

The WHCA would never have THEIR dinner at the White House!!! For God's sake. GROW THE F UP!!! This was Trump's plan all along to have TAXPAYERS pay for his vanity project. What happened to being fully funded by donations????? There were never donors....Trump was always had a plan to steal the $$

It would NOT have prevented what happened Saturday because the event wouldn't be held on WH grounds. Nice try, liars.

Every accusation a confession. He appears to be pathologically attached to TOFU Don. Bending the knee to Trump is the real derangement syndrome.

This is a ploy to manipulate what that SOB in the oval wants. HELL NO!

How would a ballroom protect him? The bunker under the ballroom is only meant to be used for a short time to coordinate where they will hide the president. Keeping him there would make him a target for pinpoint accuracy.

To think they staged an assassination attempt just to build a ballroom. Impeach the pedophile fascist. Impeach him now!! #uspoli #usnews

Yes Forbes, because this is what sane presidents do

Billions of people around the world have TDS. ( a normal response to constant bullshit and lies)

The only person who has Trump derangement syndrome is actually Donald Trump

The white house doesn't host the white house correspondents dinner.

The assassination attempt was prevented.

For the Republic2

This is absolutely ridiculous. Lord Dampnut is basically saying that it’s too dangerous for the president to attend any event outside of his fortress, and that we are all somehow at fault for endangering him. Maybe if he didn’t threaten as much violence as he does, this wouldn’t really be a problem.

A cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome exists. It is the 25th amendment or impeachment

The WHCD is a PRIVATE event. The White House cannot be rented for private events.
