This prompted reactions from several late-night comedians, creating a buzz.

Jon Stewart’s Comments

Jon Stewart described the interview as President Trump’s “worst nightmare,” referring to Welker’s persistent questioning. Stewart humorously criticized Trump’s reaction, stating, “Now, you could view this as the hissy-fit of an incredibly fragile man-baby, whose paper-thin skin can’t handle venturing out of the sycophantic embrace of his tongue-bathing acolytes.”

Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel Weigh In

Seth Meyers also offered his take on the incident. He noted Trump’s quick departure and commented, “Though I’m not sure you can call this a storm. That’s more like a slow-moving fog bank.” The fun continued with a quip about Trump’s dating preferences and the difficulty of the interview questions.

Jimmy Kimmel added his humor to the situation. He suggested that Trump’s discomfort with the questioning may have parallels with his personal life, saying, “This is why he mostly dated women who don’t speak English.”

Reactions to President Trump’s N.B.A. Finals Appearance

President Trump’s plans to attend Game 3 of the N.B.A. Finals also provided much comedic material. Seth Meyers joked about the extra security measures, poking fun at New York sports fans’ reputation for patience and civility. He further critiqued Trump’s family priorities, referencing his decision to attend the game over significant family events.

Jimmy Fallon added to the humor, commenting on Trump’s seating arrangements. Fallon teased, “Trump was going to sit courtside, but officials were afraid the players would start dribbling his head.” He also jested about Trump’s dynamic with fellow politician Marco Rubio.
