Late Night Tries to Decipher Another Rambling Trump Speech

The article discusses how late-night comedy shows responded to a recent rambling speech by President Trump. During the speech, Trump claimed to be popular among Black voters, a claim that Desi Lydic, a correspondent on the Daily Show, jokingly refuted by saying her potato salad was getting better numbers. The article highlights the challenges that late-night hosts face in trying to make sense of and provide commentary on the President's often confusing and meandering speeches. It suggests that the President's claims about his support among Black voters are not supported by evidence and that late-night comedians are using humor to call attention to the absurdity of some of his statements. The article does not provide any further details or analysis of the President's speech or his popularity among specific voter groups. It focuses solely on the late-night comedy response to the speech.
