Senator Lindsey Graham's death felt sudden, so it's not surprising that a lot of people had questions about it — and President Donald Trump provided some confusing answers.

In the Late Night clip above, Seth Meyers reacts to Trump telling Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly, "We've had great doctors, and they talked about, you know, a certain part of his body literally blew up."

"I'd argue they weren't great doctors if they were using language like 'literally blew up,'" says Meyers. "If a surgeon came out to the waiting room and said, 'There's no easy way to say this, your father exploded,' you would ask to speak to someone else. 'Literally blew up.' Was the doctor Wile E. Coyote? He graduated from the American College of Medical Examiners, you probably know it as ACME. Why can't the president just be normal and have some decorum in a situation like this?"
