Seth Meyers’ closer look at Trump’s plan for chaos in the 2020 Democratic primary

Seth Meyers took a closer look at why President Trump is already focused on causing trouble in the 2020 election.

Many people aren’t quite ready for another election cycle. The 2016 presidential election doesn’t feel that long ago, never mind the 2018 midterm elections. But one man who seems fixated on 2020 is President Donald Trump. Why exactly that is the case was the subject of the latest segment of “A Closer Look” on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

There is certainly nothing wrong with President Trump keeping an eye on potential Democratic opponents in the 2020 election. Any good leader needs to have both short- and long-term planning. But the issue seems to be how eager Trump is to campaign rather than actually lead the country.

The rallies that President Trump has continued to hold around the country even after getting into office are proof enough of how much he misses being on the campaign trail. One reason is because he is the center of attention. No one is there questioning him and he can deliver whatever message he wants while cameras are pointed at him. That need for attention is where Seth Meyers started last night’s “A Closer Look.”

Meyers has the same take that many did regarding Spike Lee’s acceptance speech at the Academy Awards. Lee was simply encouraging people to vote and choose love over hate. Perhaps the president was upset no one mentioned it and took Lee’s speech as his only opportunity to insert him into what was the biggest event of the weekend.

The Late Night host went on to examine how Trump will fancy himself an agent of chaos in the 2020 election. If he can make all the Democrats focus on him rather than actual issues, he may very well retain control of the entire election once again.

The country certainly seems very divided right now as we head towards the 2020 election. According to Meyers, this is just what Trump wants and hopes to push that divisiveness into the Democratic Party and weaken his opponents. Maybe the condiment platform isn’t such a bad idea, Seth.
