Seth Meyers discussed Donald Trump’s most recent comments on the World Cup, including his claim that players don’t work hard enough.
On Late Night, the host spoke about a social media post from the US president where he thanked Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew, for helping to organise the tournament in the US.

“It was already the biggest sporting event in the world,” Meyers pointed out. “It’s not like he sold 7m pickleball tickets.”
This week has also seen Trump engaging in a photo opportunity with the most recent Little League softball champions in the White House. “Wow, still chasing that World Cup final high, huh?” Meyers said.
After wildfires led to air quality issues over the past week in parts of the US, Trump criticised Canada for failing to take preventive measures. In a social media post, he said the “cost is incalculable”.
Meyers quipped: “So he didn’t write that post.”
Trump has also said that he wishes he could switch places with Cristiano Ronaldo, as he believes that his life is much easier than his. He said he would like to switch for about a month or so.

Meyers joked: “‘Or longer’, yelled Melania.”
He added: “Watching Ronaldo run full-speed up and down a soccer pitch and you’re like, ‘That guy doesn’t work as hard as President Trump.’”

This week has also seen the American Heart Association claim that five cups of coffee is a safe amount for someone to have in one day. Meyers showed a picture of Trumpsleeping and joked “but you know, maybe start with one”.
A study also showed that 34% of people who choose to eat in their car tend to pick easier and more convenient food options. “That makes sense, it’s probably not the time or the place for tapas,” he said.
A German man has also broken a Guinness World Record this week after popping 60 balloons in 30 seconds using a plunger. “So the toilet is still clogged?” Meyers joked that his wife then said.
Trump has also claimed that he is “No 1” on TikTok. “‘Guess again, bitch,’ said Jimothy,” Meyers said referencing the Seattle raccoon who has recently gone viral.
“So glad to see it finally happening for Jimothy, he’s been at it for a long time,” he added.
