Eric Trump's robotics company reportedly landed a $24 million deal with the Pentagon, with Foundation Future Industries contracted to deliver its Phantom MK1 humanoid robots for use by the U.S military.

If the president's son receiving millions for his tech startup from the government sounds like a conflict of interest, Seth Meyers agrees with you.

During his "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night, the host examined the deal made with Trump, the company's chief strategy advisor.

"Now, for anyone surprised that Eric Trump's title is 'chief strategy advisor,' I can explain it was too hard to fit 'dipshit who just happens to be the president's son' on the business card," said Meyers.

"So, the president's family is dining at the taxpayer trough," Meyers added. "Meanwhile, the rest of us are getting hit with price hikes and supply shortages as a result of Trump's war with Iran."

He's not wrong.
