President Donald Trump appears to be unhappy with Seth Meyers, apparently due to the late-night host recently mocking him. Over the weekend, Trump called for Meyers to be fired, and Trump’s FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, seems to have backed his sentiment.

“NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his “show” is a Ratings DISASTER,” Trump wrote on his social platform Truth Social on Saturday. “Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”

Earlier in the month, Trump claimed on Truth Social that Meyers had “NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

While it’s unclear what specifically prompted Trump to want Meyers fired, last week, Meyers repeatedly joked about Trump during his monologues. He recently mocked Trump over how his administration has been responding to the batch of Jeffrey Epstein emails released Wednesday, in which Epstein stated that Trump “knew about the girls” in Epstein’s sex trafficking case. Meyers also recently joined other late-night hosts in roasting Trump’s decision to knock down the East Wing of the White House.
