HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA: 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' on October 10 saw the host take a dig at Trump who claimed at a rally that 'windmills' are causing unprecedented whale deaths.
Donald Trump has recently criticized wind turbines, making unfounded claims about their alleged impact on whale mortality.
The context draws back to Trump contending that these windmills are negatively affecting cetaceans, describing the impact as making them "crazy" and "a little batty".
Seth Meyers mocks Donald Trump
Meyers said in his monologue, "Former President Trump held a campaign rally last night in New Hampshire and blamed windmills for killing whales".
He added, "While normally when someone says something like that, the next thing you see is the backup quarterback warming up on the sidelines".
"But nope, they're leaving him in the game," Meyers ended the segment before moving on to the next news.
There were many who reacted to Meyer's take on Trump's speech.
One commented, "Trump is STILL pissed at Scotland for the windmills they wouldn't remove next to his golf course."
Another said, "Gosh we’ve missed all these jokes for months!!! Glad to have you back Seth and team!"
One quipped, "This is exactly why I love watching this show from here in Ireland. Top notch US current affairs lampooning cutting hilarious brilliance! And...has a heart".
Another expressed, "Trumps fixation with windmills continues to confuse me, but then most things about Trump continues to confuse me".
'The windmills are driving them crazy'
During a rally in South Carolina, Donald Trump, the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, asserted that while the likelihood of killing a whale by boat collision is low, he claimed that wind turbines, or "windmills" as he referred to them, are causing an unprecedented surge in whale deaths.
Trump, the twice-impeached former US president currently grappling with multiple criminal indictments, alleged that whales are now washing ashore on a weekly basis—a stark contrast to the infrequency observed in the past.
He said, “You wouldn’t see that once a year – now they are coming up on a weekly basis. The windmills are driving them crazy. They are driving the whales, I think, a little batty."
It's essential to note that Trump has a history of making controversial or unsubstantiated claims, particularly regarding renewable energy.
