In order to successfully reach out to black and Latino voters, Seth Meyers believes Donald Trump needs to do more than just give himself a nickname and dance like a dorky dad.
On Tuesday's Late Night, Meyers examined Trump's trip to a church in Detroit, where his surrogate Ben Carson was seen paying more attention to his phone than the service and Trump himself was spotted "awkwardly swaying back and forth like a dad who brought his kids to a Demi Lovato concert." He also poked fun at a tweet Trump sent out, addressed to the "African-American community," which said the "Democrats have failed you for fifty years, high crime, poor schools, no jobs. I will fix it, VOTE 'T.'" An incredulous Meyers asked, "'T'? Is he trying to give himself a nickname to appeal to black voters? Come November 8, vote D. Trizzy, or maybe A$AP Donald, or my personal favorite, Donye Worst."
