Stephen Colbert in contrast Donald Trump to a “grandpa” roaming round a mall after he wandered off throughout an official ceremony with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
The comic dove into the weird outing throughout his monologue for Tuesday’s episode of “The Late Present With Stephen Colbert.” Within the opening deal with, Colbert thanked “the fantastic folks of Japan” for taking “our president for a few days so the remainder of us can simply have just a little break.”
“Trump met with Japan’s prime minister and so they stroll by an elaborate ceremony,” he went on. “There’s Trump with the prime minister. He stops to salute the American flag. Then she goes, ‘Hey, have a look at our flag.’ And he goes, ‘Nah, probably not my sort. Bye.’ And off he shambles into the gap.”
Per Colbert, this conduct was harking back to a teenager “taking grandpa to the mall.”
“The place’d he go? The place’d he go? Oh no. No. Oh my god. He’s at Victoria’s Secret,” Colbert joked. “Pop Pop. No. Pop Pop. Don’t salute the thongs. I hope that’s saluting.”
Colbert then known as out the items Japan bestowed upon Trump, noting the nation was making an attempt to get on the president’s good aspect amid “his random tariff spree.”
“So, they gave him a pair items for America’s upcoming 250th birthday. Some fireworks and 250 cherry timber,” he quipped. “Or, as will probably be identified in historical past books, how Eric Trump began the D.C. wildfires.”
