Seth Meyers ruthlessly mocked President Donald Trump on Monday night for feuding with LaVar Ball, the father of one of the three UCLA basketball players arrested in China on shoplifting charges.

Trump, who happened to be on a 12-day tour of Asia when the players were seized, intervened on their behalf with the Chinese president. He then criticized the players for not publicly thanking him immediately after they arrived home. They later held a press conference and thanked Trump. Days later, Trump attacked Ball, who downplayed the president’s direct involvement in the release, and said he should have left Ball’s son and teammates jailed in China.

β€œHelping to keep American citizens out of communist prisons is part of your job,” Meyers said. β€œThat’s not above and beyond. That’s eye-level and right next to you.”

The β€œLate Night” host referred to Trump as a β€œthug and wanna-be dictator,” and joked that the president’s feud with the outspoken Ball is the one we’ve been waiting for.

β€œThis isn’t Marco Rubio trying to win at Donald Trump’s game,” Meyers said. β€œDonald Trump’s game is LaVar Ball’s game.”
