Trump's Next Target: Seth Meyers in His Sights Over Rumored Contract Extension
SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE: Trump Sets Sights on Seth Meyers, Threatens NBC with Censorship
In a shocking move that has left the entertainment world reeling, President Donald Trump has declared war on another popular late-night comedian, this time targeting the irreverent and incisive Seth Meyers. According to sources close to the president, Trump is fuming over rumors that NBC has extended Meyers' contract through 2028, despite the comedian's lackluster ratings.
In a blistering post on his Truth Social platform, Trump unleashed a scathing attack on Meyers, branding him "an insecure child" with "no Ratings, Talent, or Intelligence." The president even went so far as to suggest that NBC is engaging in a massive cover-up by extending the comedian's contract, implying that the network is colluding to perpetuate Meyers' mediocre career.
But what really has Trump's goat? Sources close to the White House reveal that the president is seething over Meyers' persistent criticism of his administration and policies. From blasting Trump's handling of the National Guard deployment in Washington D.C. to questioning the president's ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, Meyers has been one of the most vocal critics of the former reality TV star.
"Trump is obsessed with silencing anyone who dares to speak truth to power," a source close to NBC told The Scholarly Note. "He's been threatening to use the FCC to shut down networks and stations that don't toe his line, and now he's going after Seth."
But this isn't the first time Trump has clashed with late-night comedians. In recent weeks, he's taken aim at Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and even ABC itself, suggesting that the network should be fined or shut down for "biased" coverage of his White House.
And it seems that Trump is willing to go to great lengths to achieve his goal of censoring dissenting voices in the media. Sources close to the president reveal that he's been making phone calls to top executives at Disney, demanding that they muzzle Kimmel over jokes that were critical of his administration.
But what about Meyers? Insiders suggest that Trump is particularly incensed by the comedian's sharp wit and quick tongue, which have left the president's fragile ego bruised on more than one occasion.
"Marble Mouth Meyers," Trump once sneered at the comedian in a public outburst. "He thinks he's so funny, but really, his show is just a disaster."
But despite Trump's best efforts to silence him, Meyers remains unapologetic and unafraid to speak truth to power.
"Trump doesn't want to fix problems in big cities," Meyers shot back at the president. "He loves problems anywhere that can distract from his problems. And he definitely has problems – his polling numbers are not great, his MAGA base is questioning his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and voters are starting to suspect that the Trump administration might be a crime pot."
As the battle between Trump and the media continues to escalate, one thing is clear: the war on free speech and critical journalism has only just begun. Stay tuned for more updates from The Scholarly Note as this saga unfolds.
UPDATE: In related news, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel fired back at Trump's threats, saying "I'm not afraid of you, Donald. I'll keep making jokes about your hairdo until the day I die."
Meanwhile, sources close to CBS reveal that Stephen Colbert is bracing himself for a possible attack from Trump next, given his own history of taking aim at the president's policies and appearance.
