Late-Night Comedians Continue to Roast Trumps Erection Struggle: A Comical Accountability

In a recent press conference, President Donald Trump stirred up controversy when he declined to use the term "erection" during the installation of new flagpoles at the White House. Instead of employing the word, Trump told reporters, "They also use another word but I'm not going to use that word. You know what that is? The word, it starts with an 'e.' You know what the word is? If I ever used it, I'd be run out of town by you people." Seth Meyers, host of "Late Night," took issue with the President's decision to avoid the term. "I don't know, man. You paid off an adult film star and still got elected," Meyers said, referencing how Trump's hush money trial had no effect on his bid to return to office. "So I think you can say 'erection' and be fine," Meyers added. "It's not like you're going to get impeached." Meyers' comments are part of a larger trend of late-night hosts and comedians taking aim at Trump's behavior and language. In recent weeks, other hosts have used their platforms to criticize Trump's actions and comments, including a billionaire who turned down an offer to be Kamala Harris' running mate and a U.S. soccer star who shared a "weird" moment with Trump in the Oval Office. Jen Psaki, a former White House press secretary, also used her platform to undermine Trump's latest claims, using not one but two scathing supercuts in her latest video. While Trump's reluctance to use the word "erection" may seem like a minor issue, it highlights his ongoing struggle with language and his tendency to avoid controversial topics. As the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of his presidency, it will be interesting to see how late-night hosts and comedians continue to use their platforms to hold him accountable.
