On Monday, certified billionaire Warren Buffett challenged Donald Trump to release his tax returns, amid speculation that Trump is a mere millionaire, and later that night, Trump tweeted out a photo of himself eating a bucket of KFC chicken (with a fork and knife) on his private jet. On Tuesday's Late Night, Seth Meyers connected the dots.
"Donald, I think you are not releasing your taxes because you don't have any money," he said. "I think you're broke." Meyers suggested that Trump was actually eating KFC in the back of a van, and joked: "I mean, no wonder you're acting so erratically — you're a man keeping a secret that, if exposed, will ruin you. You're like Walter White in Breaking Bad, staying one step ahead of the truth. By the debates, you're going to have a shaved head and a goatee." His team mocked up a photo, and it's not a bad look.
