"We know that the president put them all on a plane that was a decoy plane," the late night host says The post Seth Meyers Questions Future of White House Correspondents’ Dinner After ‘Decoy Plane’ Drama appeared first on TheWrap .
Seth Meyers, still in the world of comedy after his departure from "Saturday Night Live," couldn't resist pointing out the absurdity of President Donald Trump's recent "decoy plane" maneuver. The president allegedly moved himself and his staff to a separate aircraft during a trip to Turkey, citing concerns about safety due to perceived threats.
Meyers quipped on Wednesday's "A Closer Look Out of Office" that this situation raised questions about the future of the White House Correspondents' Dinner. "Do you think now, the press should stop doing the White House Correspondents Dinner after we know that the president put them all on a plane that was a decoy plane?" he asked, jokingly suggesting that the president could have hidden in a catering cart to avoid the press.
The White House Correspondents' Association responded to the incident, expressing concerns over press safety and meeting with Trump's senior administration officials. Meyers remained skeptical, suggesting that the risk of endangering the press was too great for the president to "run wild in a catering truck."
