"Up is down, black is white, and we should all just admit we’re living in the Upside Down with Barb.”

That's what Seth Meyers had to say on Late Night after viewing President-elect Trump's press conference, referring to the parallel universe of Netflix's Stranger Things.

In his "A Closer Look" segment on Thursday's episode , the host stated that "Trump has proven that his presidency will be a major test for our democracy."

After showing the combative exchange between the president-elect and CNN's Jim Acosta, Meyers noted, "Trump's hostility toward the press is the kind of thing you usually see in authoritarian regimes.

"In fact, in an especially creepy move," Meyers added, "Trump stocked the press conference with employees who laughed at his jokes and shouted out supportive answers to his rhetorical questions."

He also pointed to the folders on the table behind Trump, which were said to include documents related to Trump's business, but were not made available to reporters. Meyers said the even looked like they might be full of blank paper.

“Even if you were doing a middle-school play, you’d write something on the folders to make it look real,” Meyers said.
