Seth Meyers Roasts Trump For Air Force One Escape With 'Very Fun' Idea For Next WHCD
Key Points:
- Seth Meyers mocked President Donald Trump for secretly leaving Air Force One via a catering truck amid an Iranian assassination threat, abandoning White House staff and press on the main plane.
- Trump argued he was at greater risk on the smaller plane than the journalists left behind, a claim that drew widespread criticism regarding press safety.
- The White House Correspondents’ Dinner Association has requested improved press safety protocols following the incident and a recent shooting at the event.
- Meyers humorously suggested Trump could turn his catering truck escape into a comedic moment by surprising attendees at future dinners with a theatrical entrance.
- Despite the serious nature of the events, Meyers and his team continued to use satire to highlight concerns about press safety and the administration's handling of the situation.
