Seth Meyers compares Trump to Cartman from ‘South Park’
CBS late-night host Seth Meyers is comparing President Trump to infamous “South Park” character Eric Cartman for his tweet calling North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “short and fat.”
On Monday’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the host mocked Trump’s behavior as president and questioned whether the country had elected “one of the ‘South Park’ kids” while displaying a picture of Cartman.
Meyers then did his best impression of Cartman reading Trump’s tweet: “Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend, ‘Kyle Jung Un.'”

On Saturday, Trump responded to the latest round of insults from North Korea’s state media, which labeled him a “lunatic old man.”
“No one can predict when the lunatic old man of the White House, lost to sense, will start a nuclear war,” North Korean state media said last week.
“Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,’ when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?’ Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe someday that will happen!” Trump tweeted on Saturday.
The two leaders have engaged in frequent name-calling since Trump took office in January. Trump labeled Kim “Rocket Man” during his speech to the U.N. General Assembly, while Kim has called Trump a “mentally deranged dotard” and a “frightened dog.”
Trump is currently abroad on a 12-day Asia trip where he hopes to secure stronger commitments against North Korea’s nuclear aggression from the United States’s Asian allies.
