Seth Meyers thinks the country should keep track of other metrics, like the president's felony counts or number of times he's fallen asleep on live TV, the same way it keeps track of gas prices on giant billboards. The 'Late Night' host mocked President Trump's claims about low gas prices, saying 'you can't lie about many things in American life, but one thing you can't lie about is gas prices' since they're displayed on signs across the country.

Why it matters

Meyers' suggestion highlights the growing public scrutiny and skepticism around Trump's claims, especially when they contradict easily verifiable facts like gas prices. The idea of tracking metrics like felony counts on billboards reflects the desire for greater transparency and accountability from the president.

The details

During his 'A Closer Look' segment, Meyers laughed at Trump's claim that gas costs under $2/gallon in some places, saying 'you can lie about many things in American life, but one thing you can't lie about is gas prices. You know why? Because they're on giant f--king signs on the side of the road.' Meyers then suggested that giant billboards be used to tally other important metrics, like 'felony counts' or 'number of times the President has fallen asleep on live TV'.

  • On Monday night, Meyers delivered his 'A Closer Look' segment examining rising gas prices and Trump's claims about them.
