Trump wants change now!
Former President Donald Trump sparked major headlines this weekend after calling on NBC to fire late-night host Seth Meyers—accusing the liberal comedian of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and dragging the network’s ratings down. The post instantly went viral across conservative media, creating a political firestorm that continues to grow.
Trump Slams NBC’s Seth Meyers for “Ratings Disaster”
In a Truth Social statement, President Trump unloaded on the failing late-night format and Meyers’ nightly anti-Trump monologues:
“NBC’s Seth Meyers is completely consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome. He was on air last night in a full-blown meltdown—probably because his show’s ratings are collapsing. On top of that, he brings nothing to the table talent-wise, and NBC ought to remove him from the lineup immediately.”
The message hit a nerve instantly. Americans frustrated with the collapse of traditional media cheered Trump for saying what many viewers believe: late-night TV has abandoned comedy and become a platform for nonstop liberal attacks.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr Shares Trump’s Post—Liberal Media Melts Down
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr reposted Trump’s message on X without adding a single word.
That silence alone triggered a full-blown meltdown among progressives.
Democratic activists accused Carr of “supporting censorship,” despite the fact he simply shared a public post. This overreaction highlights a growing pattern: whenever Trump calls out media bias, the left immediately accuses conservatives of “threatening democracy” or “attacking journalists.”
Media Figures Rush to Defend Meyers
Predictably, left-wing commentators rushed to shield Meyers from criticism. Activists on X compared Trump and Carr to “North Korea,” while anti-Trump former congressman Justin Amash even called for abolishing the FCC.
Liberal writer Matthew Yglesias went further, claiming conservatives were trying to “censor comedians”—even though Meyers has spent over a decade using NBC as a platform to smear Trump and mock conservative voters.
This is a common trend: the liberal media dishes it out every night, but panics the moment anyone pushes back.
A Pattern: Late-Night Hosts Attack Conservatives Without Consequence
Carr has previously criticized late-night hosts for crossing ethical lines. Earlier this year, he blasted ABC and Disney after Jimmy Kimmel made disturbing jokes following the attempted assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
Disney suspended Kimmel briefly, then quietly reinstated him.
Late-night TV has shifted dramatically over the past decade. Instead of comedy, Americans now get predictable political lectures, anti-Trump monologues, and constant attacks on conservative values. Ratings have collapsed as viewers move to platforms that don’t insult them nightly.
Trump Has Criticized Meyers For Years—And Viewers Agree
This isn’t Trump’s first shot at Meyers. In November, he called Meyers “the least talented person on television,” pointing out what millions of Americans see:
- No ratings
- No comedy
- 100% anti-Trump content
- Total disconnect from everyday Americans
Neither NBC nor Meyers’ show offered any comment, continuing their pattern of ignoring criticism from conservatives and frustrated viewers.
Even Some Conservatives Express Caution About FCC Involvement
While many on the right support Trump’s call for accountability, some libertarian-leaning Republicans—such as Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz—warn about the government stepping into media conflicts. Both noted that while Kimmel’s comments were offensive, government pressure on networks could eventually be weaponized.
Still, millions of conservative viewers agree with Trump that NBC and other networks must answer for years of biased commentary, collapsing viewership, and one-sided political attacks.
America’s Media Divide Continues to Grow
Trump’s latest statement exposed a deeper issue: traditional media, late-night TV, and corporate networks have lost touch with half the country. Conservative Americans age 50+, who make up the backbone of national viewership, are demanding fairness, accountability, and real entertainment—not nightly political propaganda.
With NBC hemorrhaging ratings and viewers abandoning mainstream networks, Trump’s call to fire Seth Meyers resonates with many who feel the media has treated conservatives unfairly for years.
