  "account": "Seth Meyers, the host of NBC’s \"Late Night,\" made a lighthearted jab at former President Donald Trump after the latter’s harsh statements on Thursday’s Truth Social posts. Meyers posited that Trump’s tirade signifies the “final stage of Republican grief” over the midterm elections, enumerating the emotions through a comedic progression: Anger, Denial, More Anger, Depression, and finally, Caravans. The president had previously accused Democrats of fabricating corruption charges to divert attention from alleged theft in Democrat-run states and even suggested the emergence of “caravans” of migrants from Mexico. Meyers quipped that Trump’s threats to focus on corruption in Democrat-controlled cities and states seemed increasingly desperate. The late-night host also dismissed Trump’s attempt to revive a debate over his tax return audit from his first presidential term, famously quipping “Nobody remembers anything from your first term. That’s how you got elected to a second one.” Further in his monologue, Meyers highlighted Russia’s announcement that its ambassador to the U.S. died in Moscow, adopting a Russian accent to jokingly claim the death was due to a “bad case of gravity.” The segment also touched on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s declining popularity, which Meyers humorously suggested was even lower than Trump’s, implying Trump might keep Hegseth around to maintain a favorable comparison.",
