LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Seth Meyers, the renowned late-night host and political satirist, recently took a jab at former President Donald Trump for his peculiar courtroom antics as he attempted to use a piece of paper to clear his name in a high-stakes legal battle.

In his signature satirical style, Meyers quipped, "Even a neuralyzer from 'Men in Black' can't do it," humorously referencing the memory-erasing device from the popular science fiction film.

Seth Meyers lampoons Donald Trump's bizarre document stunt

Seth Meyers began the segment by humorously highlighting Donald Trump's testimony in his civil fraud trial, noting that it lasted almost four hours and that the proceedings were cut short before he could be asked a third question, possibly due to the typical convoluted and lengthy nature of his statements.

The late-night host then zeroed in on Trump's courtroom stunt, where he pulled a piece of paper from his suit jacket, which he insisted would exonerate him in the $250 million civil fraud case.

Meyers humorously pointed out that the paper was not allowed to be read since it was "classified," a detail Meyers used to extract further humor as he questioned the efficacy of this mysterious piece of paper, suggesting ludicrous scenarios like presenting a birth certificate with a different name.

He underscored the absurdity of Trump's actions by mimicking the former president, imagining him declaring, "Your Honor, this clears my name because, as you can see, my name is Reginald Periwinkle. You've got the wrong guy."

Seth Meyers' comical take on former President Donald Trump's courtroom document stunt didn't just provide a good laugh but also triggered humorous responses from fans.

One user wrote, "This "document" must be stapled to Trump's healthcare plan," while another stated, "So Trump is now referring to the Constitution as a "mysterious document"? Yeah that makes sense - he's certainly never seen a copy before today." 

"Was the document Trump wanted to show the judge a little orange card from Monopoly?" quipped a person, as someone else said, "It's funny how Trump always has a wrinkled piece of paper with scribble on it that somehow can clear his name from any & all accusations." 

A viewer noted, "That's not the 1st time trump pulled a letter out of his pocket, claiming it was something amazing. He did that several times between 2016 and 2020. Didn't work then either!"
