Seth Meyers on Thursday called President Donald Trump a “genius marketer” ― all in the name of sarcasm, of course. (Watch the video below.)

The “Late Night” host was leading into the president’s new campaign to recast the U.S. war against Iran as an “excursion.”

“I think I know what happened here,” Meyers said. “Trump was calling it a war, which is very unpopular. So someone on his team told him to call it an incursion. But his brain is oatmeal, so he heard ‘excursion,’ and no one corrected him.”

“But seriously, an excursion?” Meyers continued. “Did you see it on a brochure at the rental car place between snorkeling and cave tours? A war is not an excursion. An excursion is apple-picking, which we all know is worse than a war.”

The late-night comedian found a way to detour to another matter that has been dogging the president.

“An excursion is when you go whale watching in the Bahamas or when you take a boat trip to Epstein’s island, WHICH HE DIDN’T DO,” Meyers emphasized.

But according to the thousands of mentions of Trump in the Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, “All he did was fly on Epstein’s plane eight times and called him a terrific guy and sent him a lewd birthday card, and Epstein called him his closest friend for 10 years, and they partied together at Mar-a-Lago,” the host said as video footage of Trump and Epstein together appeared on screen.

Meyers then asked for the video clip to be redacted to appease the Department of Justice. But that didn’t quite work.
