Seth Meyers may have coined a new nickname for Trump

President Trump has had a weird two weeks, Seth Meyers said on Wednesday's Late Night — he wants to claim total victory when it comes to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, but is also obsessed with how the whole thing got started.

On Tuesday, Trump declared that he wants someone to look not into the "origins," but rather the "oranges" of the probe. "Why does he keep saying 'oranges?'" Meyers asked. "Is he hungry?" The White House also struggled to figure out what Trump was trying to convey, with the official transcript saying "oringes." Yes, Meyers said, they invented a word, and it's one that "looks like how a child would spell it on a piece of cardboard if they opened up their own fruit stand."

That wasn't the only strange thing Trump said on Tuesday. While speaking to a group of Republicans, he started roasting windmills, saying they ruin property values and their noise causes cancer. He also tried to insult Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), mocking her Green New Deal as being "done by a young bartender, 29 years old." She is "a member of Congress, and her name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez," Meyers said. "We call you Mr. President, not Crazy Windmill Cancer Guy." Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
