Times have been bad for Donald Trump. So bad that controversial pop group Milli Vanilli’s exit from the Great American State Fair is “not even in the top 10 most embarrassing things to happen to him” last week. This is according to Late Night host Seth Meyers. He said this on his latest show after a brief hiatus. Meyers clocked each of Trump’s recent political woes. They included the suspension of Iran-US peace talks, military exchanges, and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Meyers, Milli Vanilli’s refusal to perform was an embarrassment of a different league. Fab Morvan, the surviving member of the Milli Vanilli duo, pulled out of the event last week, citing its political nature.
“Imagine how badly things have to be going, that the real Milli Vanilli publicly rejected you, and it’s not even in the top 10 most embarrassing things to happen to you this week,” the NBC host said in the ‘A Closer Look’ segment of his show.
Milli Vanilli remains one of pop culture’s most famous, or infamous, symbols of public embarrassment. The duo was stripped of their Grammy award following a lip-syncing scandal.
The punch of Meyers’ joke lies here. Trump has become so unpopular that even people associated with scandals do not want anything to do with him.
Meyers also fired shots at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He made a “zombie Jack Hanna” comparison to mock a wild headline about the Secretary of Health and Human Services allegedly wrestling snakes.
The Great American State Fair is a multi-day national exposition starting June 25, organized by Freedom 250, a platform launched by Trump. Trump is personally slated to kick off the celebration on June 24.
Earlier, several artists and groups, including Young MC, The Commodores, Morris Day & The Time, had either withdrawn or denied ever agreeing to perform at the event.
Trump mocked the departing artists, calling them “Third Rate.” He later wrote that a MAGA rally should replace the event with “overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain.”
