The President of the United States recently used his social media platform, Truth Social, to demand the dismissal of Seth Meyers. This came after the host of Late Night referred to him as the “most unpopular president of all time” while discussing the waning support for the Republican Party.
During the November 14th episode, Meyers commented, “Trump is losing support among Republicans. Not all, or even most, but enough to make a difference.” He emphasized that this shift is a significant development that isn’t baseless or sudden.
Meyers went on to criticize Trump for actions that have frustrated his supporters, suggesting, “He’s done a bunch of very specific things to pi– off MAGA lately.”
According to recent polling data from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, Trump’s approval rating among Republicans has seen a 13-point decline since March 2025. This drop highlights the shifting sentiments within the party.
In addition to discussing declining support, Meyers criticized Trump’s endorsement of the H1B visa program. This program aims to bring skilled foreign workers into the United States to enhance manufacturing. Meyers pointed out Trump’s controversial claim that unemployed Americans cannot be relied upon to work in factories.
Meyers also took aim at Trump’s support for the H1B visa program in the US to bring skilled foreign workers into America to boost manufacturing, after the president claimed US citizens in the “unemployment line” can’t be trusted to work in factories.
He joked that Trump would also be in the “unemployment line” if he didn’t come from wealth.
“If you didn’t have a rich dad, that’s where you’d be, my man,” Meyers continued.
“I mean, without a million bucks you inherited from your father, you’d be a guy in Queens who lost his job selling vacuums door to door.”
In a fiery response on Truth Social, Trump accused Meyers of suffering from “an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)”.
The president also called on NBC to fire Meyers.
“He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER,” he said.
“Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”
Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr reposted the message onto his X account.
Meyers has not publicly responded to Trump’s fiery social media post.
He is not the first host to become ensnared in the president’s retaliation against anti-Trump messaging on late night TV.
Fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air in September following comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Trump celebrated the decison and said Kimmel is “not a talented person”, adding he “was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else”.
Kimmel returned to the air after a week.
