Seth Meyers<\/a> on Thursday called President Donald Trump<\/a> a \u201cgenius marketer\u201d \u2015 all in the name of sarcasm, of course. (Watch the video below.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The \u201cLate Night\u201d host was leading into the president\u2019s new campaign to recast<\/a> the U.S. war against Iran as an \u201cexcursion<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI think I know what happened here,\u201d Meyers said. \u201cTrump was calling it a war, which is very unpopular. So someone on his team told him to call it an incursion<\/a>. But his brain is oatmeal, so he heard \u2018excursion<\/a>,\u2019 and no one corrected him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBut seriously, an excursion?\u201d Meyers continued. \u201cDid you see it on a brochure at the rental car place between snorkeling and cave tours? A war is not an excursion. An excursion is apple-picking, which we all know is worse than a war.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The late-night comedian found a way to detour to another matter that has been dogging the president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAn excursion is when you go whale watching in the Bahamas or when you take a boat trip to Epstein\u2019s island, WHICH HE DIDN\u2019T DO,\u201d Meyers emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But according to the thousands of mentions of Trump in the Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, \u201cAll he did was fly on Epstein\u2019s plane eight times and called him a terrific guy and sent him a lewd birthday card, and Epstein called him his closest friend for 10 years, and they partied together at Mar-a-Lago,\u201d the host said as video footage of Trump and Epstein together appeared on screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meyers then asked for the video clip to be redacted to appease the Department of Justice. But that didn\u2019t quite work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Watch the segment at 3:53:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seth Meyers on Thursday called President Donald Trump a \u201cgenius marketer\u201d \u2015 all in the name of sarcasm, of course.
