During his show on Thursday night, Seth Meyers took aim at Donald Trump for a moment where the president seemed to completely misunderstand a reporter’s question.
Meyers played a clip in which Trump was asked about unverified and contested reports that FBI Director Kash Patel had discovered “burn bags of Russiagate materials.” Trump, appearing confused, responded with a puzzled, “He said what?”
When the reporter reiterated the question, Trump replied, “I don’t know what you mean by that statement.”
After further clarification, Trump awkwardly replied, “Oh, I thought you said appointed a man called Burn Bag. Go ahead.”
“Oh, dude. Don’t admit that!” Meyers joked. “Just say, ‘I couldn’t hear you.’ Don’t let everyone know you were way off.”
The host then impersonated Trump, saying, “‘Oh, I thought you were saying the name of a person who has never existed on Earth.'”
