Seth Meyers has an idea about Donald Trump and the swamp he wants to drain
While taking a closer look at Donald Trump's foreign business ties on Tuesday's Late Night, Seth Meyers told supporters and detractors alike that they should keep a watchful eye on any potential conflicts of interest.
Meyers brought up a few examples he said showed Trump is unable to separate business from government work — his Washington, D.C., hotel has been pitching itself to diplomats in town to see Trump; he met with Indian business partners last week while working on his transition; and his daughter, Ivanka Trump, who is supposed to run the family business once he governs, sat in during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It came out that Ivanka Trump was also on a phone call between her father and the president of Argentina, leading Meyers to proclaim, "I'm starting to think we might end up with a woman president after all."
