Seth Meyers Suspects Trump Is ‘Secretly Thrilled’ by Judge Overturning His Press Ban

On Thursday, a judge overturned President Trump's ban on CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from the White House, leading to speculation that Trump is "secretly thrilled" by the decision. During his "A Closer Look" segment, NBC host Seth Meyers noted that the ban had been lifted because it lacked "constitutionally adequate due process." Meyers joked that Trump might not even be able to say those words and could potentially resign upon hearing them.

He suggested that Trump was likely happy about the overturned ban, stating that "now, Trump will pretend to be upset by this ruling, but I bet he's secretly thrilled to have the cameras back because while they were gone, right-wing TV outlets tried to pick up the slack, but they were missing some crucial equipment." A viral clip from a White House ribbon cutting ceremony earlier this week played, showing that no microphones were set up for Trump's speech due to the ban.

Despite the overall negativity, Meyers offered a rare compliment to the president, praising Trump's "best speech ever" and jokingly stating it should be the sound for his next State of the Union address.
