Seth Meyers unpacks Trump's China visit with an entourage of tech CEOs – Mashable
Donald Trump‘s China visit to meet with leader Xi Jinping is the talk of the late night shows, including Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The host used his “A Closer Look” segment to unpack the trip, including the U.S. president’s high praise for the Chinese leader, as well as his entourage of tech CEOs including Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.
“I just hope Elon Musk comports himself well,” said Meyers. “This trip is a high stakes summit between two geopolitical rivals during a time of major global conflict. We need statesmen, people who can project dignity and poise. Elon, all you need to do is attend the state banquet and be normal.”
Cut to footage of Musk making faces while at the official dinner (he was reportedly taking a photo with Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun).
“What are you doing, dude? Whistling for your imaginary friend to come save you from Tim Cook?” said Meyers. “You look like an eight-year-old who’s ruining the family Christmas card. ‘Elon, please, we’re sending this to all of our friends.’ ‘Oh, joke’s on you, I don’t have any friends, except for Daniel, that is. Come, Daniel!'”
