On Late Night, Seth Meyers' "A Closer Look" monologue replays Donald Trump calling something "a massive piece of, uh, piece of pool." Meyers then plays a second clip from Ohio, where Trump says Democrats "want to pack the Supreme Court" and "want to make Ohio a state." Meyers suggests Trump meant DC statehood. This is a comedy bit, and the quotes are Trump's own words as played on the show.

Also, let's go back and give one more listen to Donald Trump's unique turn of phrase. -"This is a massive piece of, uh, piece of pool." -"I love when someone says, uh, to buy time, and then still can't land it." Credit where credit is due. There's a chance no one in the world has ever said the phrase, massive piece of bull. That sounds like chat GPT if you dropped your phone in the toilet. And if you thought that was dumb, wait until you find out. There's a second Donald Trump, and he was in Ohio saying something even dumber about Democrats wanting to make DC a state, or at least, I think. That's what he was trying to say. They want to pack the Supreme Court. They want to make Ohio a state. He's such a massive piece of a tool.
