Seth Meyers fears Trump’s rally speeches could be interrupted by ankle bracelet going off

Seth Meyers joked that if Donald Trump is convicted for any of the charges he is facing “there’s a good chance his speeches will be interrupted by his ankle bracelet going off.”

While the former president awaits the verdict on his civil fraud trial that is set to be delivered on Friday, which could cost him millions of dollars in fines and sanctions, another trial date has been set for the nearly three dozen charges he faces concerning the hush money case.

Mr Trump will face a criminal trial on 25 March for allegedly falsifying business records in connection to hush money payments made to an adult film star at the onset of his presidential campaign in 2016.

“March 25th. That makes sense; the Farmer’s Almanac says spring doesn’t start until the Republican nominee for president goes on trial for paying hush money to a porn star,” Meyers quipped on his Thursday night show.

The trial will likely be the first among the four criminal cases against him, and the first criminal trial against any former president.

“I don’t think we as a nation have fully grappled yet with just how unprecedented and norm-shattering this election is going to be,” the Late Night show host said.

“One of our two major party candidates is going to be on trial, perhaps in multiple jurisdictions, during the campaign. He’ll have to Zoom in to his rallies from the courthouse.

“If he is convicted before voting starts, there’s a good chance his speeches will be interrupted by his ankle bracelet going off,” he joked.

As the cases and the trials draw on, for now, Meyers has seen a pattern of the former president speaking after his courthouse appearances and “whines to the assembled reporters,” the host said.
