Closer looks at Trump's probation interview and Las Vegas rally from Meyers, Colbert, and Fallon

Happy Tuesday, which means it's time for closer looks at the weekend's news with late night talk show hosts. I begin with Seth Meyers' Trump Meets with Probation Officer After Bizarre Rally Rant About Sharks: A Closer Look, which like last week's segment, I watched with my wife last night.

Seth takes a closer look at Trump meeting with a probation officer after holding his first large rally since his guilty verdict, where he screamed about teleprompters, batteries and sharks.

Who needs to watch Chris Hayes on MSNBC when Seth's staff selects the best clips and makes them funny? Speaking of MSNBC, the following image from Ari Melber's show illustrates a problem Donald Trump has with probation, associating with known felons.


While "Hoover Cleveland," my new nickname for him, is probably done with a lot of this rogues gallery, he took Paul Manafort back into his 2024 campaign.* I don't know if Manafort's pardon prevents probation from prohibiting personal contact. If not, that could make running the campaign difficult. Darn.

Stephen Colbert paid more attention to the rally in Trump’s Bull**** Rally | “I Don’t Care About You. I Just Want Your Vote” | MTG: Trump Is Like Jesus.

The former president spent his weekend making speeches on the campaign trail where he revealed his true feelings about his voters, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likened him to the son of God.

That was a terrible thing for Hoover Cleveland to say, but his core voters don't seem to care. At least it was honest, which is a rare event. As for MTG, there's nothing I can say that Randy Rainbow hasn't said and sung better.

Jimmy Kimmel was off last night, so I'm turning to Jimmy Fallon for Trump Meets with His Probation Officer, Goes on Unhinged Shark Rant at Vegas Rally | Tonight Show.

Jimmy addresses the latest news, like Time magazine interviewing both Trump and Biden, Trump's first meeting with his New York probation officer and Martha's Vineyard being close to running out of marijuana.

First, any time Hoover Cleveland tells a "Sir" story, don't believe him. Second, he's showing that he's more scared of sharks than of electric vehicles. Third, he's a little early for Shark Week. That begins on July 7th.

Tomorrow is Loving Day, but I don't know if I can top what I wrote two years ago. Stay tuned to see what I blog about tomorrow.

*Hoover Cleveland — Hoover because he's the first U.S. President to have a net job loss during his term since Herbert Hoover, Cleveland because he's trying to repeat what Grover Cleveland achieved, earn a second non-consecutive term. It helps that both were Republicans.
