Seth Meyers still can't believe Trump told a crowd in West Virginia he 'fell in love' with Kim Jong Un

President Trump does not want to talk about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Seth Meyers said on Monday's Late Night, and that's one reason why he held his latest surreal press conference earlier in the day.

Trump was focusing on the new trade deal with Canada and Mexico, and when asked about Kavanaugh, he shot down the reporter and scolded her for the question. Meyers played a montage of all the different times Trump was rude to female reporters during the press conference, including when he accused one of "not thinking," leading Meyers to ask his own question. "How much of a sexist dick can you possibly be?" he said, as an image of Kavanaugh appeared on the screen next to him. "It's almost like he saw someone else getting attention for acting like a maniac on TV and thought, 'I could top that.'"
