Seth Meyers Calls Utter B.S. On Trump's Sinatra Anecdote
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING 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, ‘I’m not performing, I’m a politician, if you can believe it.’” “No, I can’t believe it,” Meyers commented on Monday’s broadcast of his “Late Night” show. “And here’s why, because Frank Sinatra died in 1998 and you became a politician in 2015, so that conversation didn’t 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, ‘Don’t eat before you perform,’” Meyers added. Amid a contract dispute in the 1990s, Sinatra reportedly instructed his manager to tell Trump to “go fuck himself.” Nancy Sinatra, the singer’s daughter, is a fierce critic of the former president.
