Seth Meyers, on Thursday, skewered Donald Trump’s long-running claim that he’s “saved Christmas,” suggesting that the boast is now highly ironic given the economic fallout from the president’s tariff policies.
“The Late Night” host pointed out how Trump has for years touted himself as the savior of Christmas, primarily by falsely claiming he made it OK for people to say “Merry Christmas” again instead of “happy holidays.”
But with Trump admitting that prices on many consumer goods, including toys, are expected to rise, Meyer zinged: “Thanks to Trump, you can say ‘Merry Christmas’ again. But you won’t want to — because it’s going to be shit.”
The comedian also highlighted the GOP’s silence on the issue.
“The silence from Republicans is glaring,” Meyers said, especially considering their past claims that it’s liberals who want to restrict Americans’ freedoms, including “your right to buy whatever the hell you want.”
