Zack Sharf With news coming in that Russia was invading Ukraine, late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel designated airtime to slamming Donald Trump and Fox News personalities for their defenses of Vladimir Putin. Meyers told viewers on “Late Night” that “the entire world is aghast and horrified” as Russia mobilizes against the Ukraine — well, everyone except Trump. Meyers then played a clip of Trump defending Putin and calling him a “genius” while being interviewed on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.”“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said this is genius,” Trump is heard saying in the clip.
“Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine…Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So Putin is now saying it’s independent — a large section of Ukraine.” “I said how smart is that? And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper,” Trump continued.
“That’s the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen.
There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right.”Trump added, “You gotta say, that’s pretty savvy,” to which Meyers blasted the former president by reacting, “No, you don’t gotta say that! I mean, well, maybe you gotta say that so someone will pick you up at the Moscow airport when you flee our jurisdiction.”Meyers continued, “It’s just insane that Trump is still so desperate to praise a bloodthirsty tyrant like Putin every chance he gets. Trump narrates Putin’s every move like he’s Tony Romo calling the last drive of a playoff game.”Kimmel turned his attention toward Fox News host Tucker Carlson, calling him a “talking dick” for his defense of Putin.
