Seth Meyers covered the U.S. military action against Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, pondering what might have driven President Donald Trump to such a decision. “Even the keenest analysts continue to be baffled by what could have led to this assault, considering the Trump administration has kept its intentions tightly under wraps,” Meyers pointed out. He then presented a montage of Trump and his allies candidly showing their fascination with Venezuela’s oil wealth. “Gosh, I just wish there were some hints,” Meyers quipped. The Late Night host also showcased clips of Trump declaring his opposition to foreign conflicts and regime changes, which stand in stark contrast to his recent behavior. “I still can’t quite grasp how anyone believed Trump was genuine about being anti-war,” Meyers remarked. “Did you really think Donald Trump, the most sensitive and impetuous individual on the planet, would somehow grasp the idea of moderation once he took command of the world’s mightiest military? Entrusting Donald Trump with the U.S. military is akin to giving the cast of The Real Housewives unlimited drinks and a ‘one free slap’ pass.”
