Donald Trump took part in the April Fools Day mischief, but he didn't actually say “April Fools.” Seth Meyers was bothered by this during Tuesday night’s episode of “Late Night.”
Trump sent an email to his supporters with the subject line “I’m suspending my campaign…”. However, when they opened the email, it said “Just Kidding.”
“‘Just kid’– I think you mean ‘April Fools,'” Meyers said. “Why can’t you do anything normal?”
The “Late Night” host then used his Trump voice to take the joke even further, mimicking, “I’m suspending my campaign. Faked you out! On this, the opening day of the month after March.”
Now, in fairness, the actual email — at least according to images on social media — did reference the holiday. The full text was “Just Kidding – Happy April Fools Day!” Of course, the common thing to say after an April Fools Day prank is, well, “April Fools.”
In his monologue, Meyers also expressed concern about Trump having access to the names of jurors in his criminal hush money trial, at least for now.
“That’s like giving Cruella de Vil the address of the local animal shelter,” Meyers joked.
