Donald Trump has doubled down on his scathing remarks towards comedian Seth Meyers.

In yet another post on his platform, Truth Social, Trump slammed the late-night talk show host, calling him a “deranged lunatic” and accusing him of being against him. In the lengthy post, Trump said:

"Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to “perform” live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise. I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this??? - NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!"

Donald Trump's post on Truth Social comes two days after Seth Meyers dissected his visit to South Korea, where he president was honored with a golden crown.

“Trump's been getting the royal treatment he so desperately craves," Meyers said on his show. “He wishes he could get the same treatment back here at home. He made it clear, for example, that he’s super-jealous of China’s authoritarian government,” he added.

Seth Meyers and the president have long been feuding with each other. Earlier this year, Trump hurled insults at the talk show host on Truth Social, calling him “dumb and untalented” and demanding that Comcast, the owner of NBC, “pay a big price” for what he calls “political hits.”

“How bad is Seth Meyers on NBC, a ‘network’ run by a truly bad group of people — Remember, they also run MSDNC,” Trump wrote. “I got stuck watching Marble Mouth Meyers the other night, the first time in months, and every time I watch this moron I feel an obligation to say how dumb and untalented he is, merely a slot filler for the Scum that runs Comcast.”

Trump continued:

“These guys should be paying a lot of money for the right to give these ‘in kind’ contributions to the Radical Left Democrat Party. These are not shows or entertainment, they are simply political hits, 100% of the time, to me and the Republican Party. Comcast should pay a BIG price for this!”

In September, Trump also took jibes at Seth Meyers' fellow talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel. At the time, his show was pulled from ABC indefinitely after his monologue about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination.

“Great News for America: The ratings-challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In his monologue, Kimmel said:

“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it."

Kimmel's show made a comeback a week later.
