Timothée Chalamet is once again a contender for an Oscar, and comedian Seth Meyers has speculated about how former President Trump might respond if Chalamet wins. During a recent episode of his “A Closer Look” segment, Meyers humorously predicted that Trump could take a swipe at Chalamet’s appearance, suggesting a potential tweet about the actor’s facial features.
Meyers opened his segment by addressing comments made by Trump relating to a recent incident involving Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who faced criticism at a town hall event. According to Meyers, Trump reacted to the situation with his typical flair for the outrageous, suggesting that the confrontation might have been staged.
Meyers lamented the current state of affairs where Trump routinely makes bizarre comments following significant news events. “If Chalamet wins the Oscar, Trump will probably tweet, ‘Marty’s mustache is a fake,’” Meyers quipped, drawing on Trump’s history of attacks on Omar, where he has previously made claims about her financial worth that have shifted dramatically.
In one of his social media posts, Trump alleged that Omar was worth $30 million, only to later revise that figure to $44 million. Meyers humorously questioned the plausibility of her suddenly amassing such wealth, jesting about the idea of Omar having invested in “Trump family crypto” or selling off “Labubus,” an apparent reference he made for comedic effect.
Continuing his commentary, Meyers reflected on Trump’s accusations of Omar being a “fraud” after the incident and his claims that she might have been involved in orchestrating the attack against her. Meyers mockingly speculated on the absurdity of the situation being a premeditated scheme gone wrong, as he raised questions about the feasibility of such an elaborate ruse.
Meyers’ satirical take on the events portrayed the surreal intersection of politics and entertainment, showcasing the increasingly bizarre interactions that characterize modern public discourse. The comedic insights provided an entertaining perspective on the interplay between public figures and the ongoing spectacle of political commentary.
