Seth Meyers Points Out Donald Trump’s Hilarious Struggle With X-Rated Word

1 week ago 1

“Late Night” host Seth Meyers on Thursday mocked President Donald Trump’s reluctance to say the word “erection” during the, well, erection of new flagpoles at the White House this week.

Trump told reporters: “Let’s have a good, they call it ‘a lifting.’ They also use another word but I’m not going to use that word. You know what that is? The word, it starts with an ‘e.’ You know what the word is? If I ever used it, I’d be run out of town by you people.”

Meyers, though, disagreed.

“I don’t know, man. You paid off an adult film star and still got elected,” said Meyers, a reference to how Trump being found guilty in his hush money trial had no effect on his bid to return to office.

“So I think you can say ‘erection’ and be fine,” Meyers added. “It’s not like you’re going to get impeached.”
