Seth Meyers used Late Night to argue Trump is fixated on fringe issues while Americans still face high costs for gas and groceries he once vowed to cut.
Trump's latest target was aircraft-carrier catapults: Meyers replayed footage of the president angrily denouncing electric launch systems and "wet magnets," calling it a long-running obsession.
Meyers tied that to other administration fixations, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s warnings about teen sperm counts and Pete Hegseth's push for annual military testosterone checks.
The comedian contrasted those priorities with bigger unresolved problems, saying the Iran war remains costly and open-ended even though Trump has claimed 38 times that a deal existed.
He cast the pattern as a broader White House culture of scandal and grift, citing reports that a teleprompter operator made $100,000 betting on Trump speeches.
