Seth Meyers can't help but 'Grimace' at Trump's cabinet picks

When calling on McDonald's mascot to help convey his feelings over President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks, Seth Meyers does not use Ronald McDonald. He calls on Grimace.

The purple fuzzy star of those commercials from your childhood is helpful for Meyers as he takes a "Closer Look" at picks for secretary of state, energy secretary and more during Trump's transition. And despite announcing his distaste for Wall Street and the wealthy, as Meyers notes with clips from the campaign, Trump's picks are a bunch of billionaires.

“It’s not just that Trump’s cabinet picks are rich that makes them problematic. This is a capitalist nation and there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with getting rich,” Meyers said. “It’s just that for many of his choices, their records don’t necessarily suggest that they’ll be a champion of working people.”

Meyers goes on to explain that Trump’s pick for labor secretary is Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. CEO Andrew Puzder, who has expressed a preference for replacing his human workers with machines (and really loves girls in bikinis eating burgers). And despite railing against Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz's ties to Goldman Sachs during the campaign, his treasury secretary pick, Steven Mnuchin, is a longtime banker from Goldman.

“I guess when they drained that swamp, there was oil at the bottom!” Meyers joked when talking about Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as the pick for secretary of state.
