Seth Meyers Thinks Trump Is Trolling With Third-Term Talk

In a segment on his show, Seth Meyers criticized President Trump's recent comments about serving a third term, calling it a form of trolling. Meyers pointed out the similarity between Trump's statement and James Cameron's remarks about an "Avatar 4" movie, suggesting that the president's claim of not having thought about a third term was disingenuous. The article suggests that Meyers believes Trump's comments about a potential third term are not to be taken seriously, but rather are part of the president's efforts to provoke and antagonize his critics. Meyers' comparison implies that Trump's statement is unlikely to reflect a genuine plan or intention, but rather a calculated move to generate controversy and attention. The article does not provide any additional context or analysis beyond Meyers' commentary, focusing solely on the late-night host's perspective on Trump's remarks about a third term.
