AceShowbiz - Seth Meyers took aim at President Trump during his recent monologue on Late Night With Seth Meyers, expressing skepticism over the president's reasons for not attending the Super Bowl. Trump had stated to the New York Post that the game was "just too far away," leading Meyers to suggest there might be deeper motivations behind the decision.

During his opening remarks on February 4, Meyers highlighted Trump's well-known enthusiasm for football and public attention, noting that one would expect him to attend the highly anticipated event, especially after he showed up at last year's Super Bowl. "It’s too far away? You know you have your own plane, right? Like, we weren’t expecting you to pile into a station wagon with Eric, Don Jr., and Melania," he quipped, underscoring the absurdity of Trump's excuse.

Meyers continued to dissect Trump's reasoning, pointing out the inconsistencies in his claims. "This is the same guy who has done multiple trips to the Middle East and Asia, but San Francisco is too far away?" he asked rhetorically. He then speculated whether Trump's absence could be linked to the fact that he might not receive a "dumb gift" for making the trip, a nod to Trump's notorious penchant for mementos and accolades.

The segment took a more serious turn as Meyers pondered other potential reasons for Trump's absence, particularly in light of the current political climate. "I wonder if it’s because there’s another reason he might not want to attend a football game in the current political climate," he reflected, before airing footage of Trump being booed at a previous sporting event.

"Of course Trump is worried about getting booed," Meyers remarked. "His approval ratings are at all-time lows, his party is getting shellacked everywhere." The comedian's commentary painted a vivid picture of Trump's precarious standing in the eyes of the public.

In response to the media's inquiries, Trump provided various reasons for his decision to skip the Super Bowl, insisting he would have loved to attend if it had been a shorter journey. "I would. I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me," he asserted, attempting to convey a sense of popularity despite the ongoing criticism.

Trump also voiced his disapproval of the musical acts scheduled to perform during the Super Bowl, specifically mentioning Bad Bunny and Green Day. "I’m anti-them," Trump stated bluntly. "I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."

As always, Late Night With Seth Meyers airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. on NBC, providing viewers with insightful commentary and humor on current events, particularly those involving prominent figures like President Trump.
