Seth Meyers Plays a 2-Minute Montage to Remind Trump of Every Time He Insisted He Was on Midterm Ballot

President Trump attempted to deflect Tuesday night's substantial Republican losses by claiming he didn't lose because his name wasn't on the ballot. However, Seth Meyers was prepared to remind Trump of how often he claimed otherwise on Wednesday. During his "A Closer Look" segment, the NBC host initially laughed at Trump's attempt to minimize the devastating defeats for his party, which led to Democrats gaining control of both the House and the Senate.

The president argued during a phone interview on Tuesday night that being on the ballot made a difference. "Wow, we finally found something Trump doesn't want his name on," Meyers remarked in disbelief. "Also, buddy, my sweet buddy, sweet prince, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you were on the f--king ballot, my man. Your name might not have been there, but it’s not like everyone forgot who was president!

You did like 30 rallies in the month leading up to the midterms. You wouldn’t shut up." Meyers quipped that Trump's deflection was similar to Ray Romano saying "Everybody Loves Raymond" was mostly about Robert. He also reminded Trump that he had even encouraged voters to pretend he was on the ballot ahead of the midterms. "Well, I’m sure it was only once or twice," Meyers joked.

"In fact, we’re going to play a short montage of Trump saying he was on the ballot. But since the president is a man of his word, I’m sure it’ll be a quick." It wasn't quick at all. It turned out to be approximately two minutes long, long enough for Meyers to even put on a sleeping mask and pretend to doze off. When it was over, he abruptly awoke, confused.

"Where am I? What hap– is Ohio a state?" he joked, poking fun at Donald Trump Jr., who had warned voters during a rally that Democrats wanted to make Ohio a state. "I fell asleep after like 50. How many more were there?"
