How would you like it if I signed your … subpoenas? (backhanded compliments)

President Trump visited Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, where he signed a guitar with a Sharpie. “I’m sorry, you can’t sign someone else’s guitar. How would you like it if I signed your … subpoenas?” —Seth Meyers

At a roundtable event while he was in Memphis, Trump praised the FBI director, Kash Patel, and said: “Once you get to know him, he’s a wonderful guy.” Man, Trump is the master of the backhanded compliment. [Meyers as Trump]: “Kash Patel, when you first meet him, he’s the worst, just awful, but then you get used to him, you know like when you break your arm and have to wear a cast.” —Seth Meyers
