Seth Meyers Calls Utter B.S. On Donald Trump's Frank Sinatra Anecdote

The "Late Night" comedian broke down exactly why he "can't believe" the former president's story.

Seth Meyers shredded Donald Trump s claim that he once received advice from legendary crooner Frank Sinatra.

Trump told a rally in New Jersey over the weekend: Frank Sinatra told me a long time ago, Never eat before you perform. I said, Im not performing, Im a politician, if you can believe it.

No, I cant believe it, Meyers commented on Mondays broadcast of his Late Night show. And heres why, because Frank Sinatra died in 1998 and you became a politician in 2015, so that conversation didnt happen.

Under what circumstances would Frank Sinatra be talking to Donald Trump and his main advice for Trump, who again was neither a politician nor a TV personality when Sinatra was alive, would be, Dont eat before you perform, Meyers added.

Maybe Trump was offering Sinatra food and that was his excuse, the comedian joked, before mimicking a potential exchange between the pair.

There was reportedly no love lost between My Way singer Sinatra and Trump.

Amid a contract dispute in the 1990s, Sinatra reportedly instructed his manager to tell Trump to go fuck himself .

Nancy Sinatra, the singers daughter, is a fierce critic of the former president.

Ill never forgive the people that voted for him, ever, she said in 2021 .
