This Closer Look segment from Late Night with Seth Meyers analyzes Donald Trump's demand for international assistance to secure the Strait of Hormuz following tensions with Iran. Seth highlights the hypocrisy of Trump begging for help from NATO allies after spending years insulting and alienating them (0:16-2:38).
Key highlights:
- Insulting Allies: Trump has historically attacked NATO as "obsolete" and criticized allies like Germany while also making questionable threats toward Greenland (0:20-1:54).
- The Rebuff: Despite Trump's plea, NATO countries, including the UK and Germany, have largely refused to get involved, leaving Trump without support for the crisis (3:25-3:54).
- Unnecessary Conflict: Seth points out that Trump inadvertently admitted the conflict might be unnecessary by claiming the US has enough oil of its own (4:30-5:02).
- Confused Predictions: The segment mocks Trump's claim that he predicted this crisis, comparing his chaotic leadership style to a cat playing a keyboard (6:40-7:26).
