Late Night Takes on Trump Tariffs and Elon Musk Loss
If Ireland must pay an additional fee for appearing on the Lucky Charms box, Colbert mimicked Trump, and the audience cheered. He also delved into history, stating that the last time tariffs were as high (in 1930), we faced a…global economic downturn. Wow! As he discussed Musk, Colbert mentioned that the Wisconsin election was disheartening for Elon Musk. The audience applauded again. “Spending such a large sum just to watch it go up in flames,” said Colbert. “Now he knows what it’s like to buy a Tesla.” Zing! (Similar to a Tesla overheating.)
