  "account": "President Trump revealed plans on Tuesday to invest in various energy projects, including the construction of the Alaska liquefied natural gas project, with the intention of decreasing gas prices. However, NBC host Seth Meyers couldn't resist making light of the situation, taking into account the project's lengthy timeline and the proximity of the midterms. In his \"A Closer Look\" segment, Meyers teased Trump into a corner, as the ongoing conflict in Iran is contributing to the rise in gas prices. Meyers asked if there was any other way for Trump to resolve the issue, leading to a reenactment of the president's statement about the Alaska pipeline reducing gasoline costs. Meyers then sarcastically remarked, \"Well, you know what? I spoke too soon. Three years? That's great. And how many years until the midterms?\" Meyers continued the impersonation, jokingly suggesting, \"It's only a month, sir. And that's sooner, yeah? Yes, sir. It's sooner by two years and 11 months.\"",
