Late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel discussed various political and cultural events, with a significant focus on Donald Trump's recent actions and statements. On Tuesday night, Meyers on NBC satirized Trump's announcement of a declining US murder rate, questioning his phrasing and also his comments regarding Taiwan and the US ambassador to China. Meyers also commented on Florida's state of emergency due to a dengue fever outbreak and the White House's defense of taxpayer-funded public service announcements. He particularly focused on Trump's reported decision on Friday to revoke nearly $1 billion in federal funding, joking about the potential uses of the funds, such as adding a waterslide to the reflecting pool. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! discussed Trump's lunch with top tech executives, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
