The US president took to his platform Truth Social to call for Meyers to be fired after the Late Night host described Trump as the “most unpopular president of all time” while discussing the Republican Party’s declining support.
“Trump is losing support among Republicans. Not all or even most of them, but enough to make a difference,” Meyers said during his November 14 show.
“Republicans losing faith in Trump is a meaningful and real development, and it’s not coming out of thin air.
“He’s done a bunch of very specific things to pi– off MAGA lately.”
Recent poll numbers found Trump’s approval rating among Republicans has dropped by 13 points since March 2025, according to the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Meyers also took aim at Trump’s support for the H1B visa program in the US to bring skilled foreign workers into America to boost manufacturing, after the president claimed US citizens in the “unemployment line” can’t be trusted to work in factories.
He joked that Trump would also be in the “unemployment line” if he didn’t come from wealth.
“If you didn’t have a rich dad, that’s where you’d be, my man,” Meyers continued.
“I mean, without a million bucks you inherited from your father, you’d be a guy in Queens who lost his job selling vacuums door to door.”
In a fiery response on Truth Social, Trump accused Meyers of suffering from “an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)”.
The president also called on NBC to fire Meyers.
“He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER,” he said.
“Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”
Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr reposted the message onto his X account.
Meyers has not publicly responded to Trump’s fiery social media post.
He is not the first host to become ensnared in the president’s retaliation against anti-Trump messaging on late night TV.
Fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air in September following comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Trump celebrated the decison and said Kimmel is “not a talented person”, adding he “was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else”.
Kimmel returned to the air after a week.
