Seth Meyers Mocks Donald Trump’s Post-Midterm Media Appearances
Donald Trump’s media appearances have recently appeared more subdued as he continues to react to the post-midterm “blue wave,” according to Seth Meyers. The host addressed the change in tone during Wednesday’s episode of Late Night, linking it to Trump’s widely discussed 60 Minutes appearance and his real-time response to election results during a Fox News call.
“The sadder Trump gets, the more emboldened the press gets,” said Meyers. “In fact, there’s one clip from a few days ago that really sums up the mood at the White House right now.”
Dominic Waghorn Challenges Trump Outside the White House
The clip highlighted by Meyers showed Dominic Waghorn, Sky News’ international affairs editor, asking Trump a pointed question outside the White House. Waghorn asked, “How does it feel being a loser, Mr. President?”

Trump did not answer the question. Instead, the president was shown quickly walking away from the group of reporters gathered outside the White House. The exchange drew attention because Waghorn’s question directly referenced the election setback while Trump’s response was entirely nonverbal.
Meyers Reacts to Trump’s Walk Away
Meyers focused on the speed and manner of Trump’s departure, turning the moment into a joke about the president’s decision not to respond publicly.
“Damn, he was out of there so fast, I thought he was gonna Mary Poppins out of frame,” reacted Meyers. “It’s so funny to get asked what does it feel like to be a loser and then walk away alone in the rain. How does it feel to be a loser? I’ll take my answer non-verbally.”
