Stephen Colbert skewers Donald Trump's gaffe in his visit to Mexico
"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert"/CBS, YouTube
In the wake of Donald Trump's meeting with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto, "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert has come to two conclusions.
While only Trump and Nieto can say what actually happened during their private meeting (thus the disagreement over discussing who would pay for the Mexican border wall), Colbert joked that he had exclusive footage of their summit. He then played a clip of two women fighting on a telenovela.
“That’s rough stuff,” the host said. “But, you know, that’s what Trump gets for sleeping with Peña Nieto’s lover while he was in a coma.”
Colbert's second conclusion comes from the televised press conference after the meeting, and it was definitely difficult for the host to admit.
"Here's the crazy thing about this trip, Trump looked presi...," Colbert said, while faking as if he were going to vomit.
He then continued, while audience members booed, "Here's the deal. There he was, there was a podium and another president. And 'A' equals 'B' equals si, si, senor, and you can actually see him doing that again, but with the training wheels off, the big-boy pants, the launch codes. I mean the whole world saw Donald Trump do something he's never done before: stay quiet while somebody else is talking."
The consolation for Colbert is that while the visuals worked in Trump's favor, the words were still classic Trump.
In particular, he went after one misstep in the way Donald Trump referred to Americans of Mexican descent.
The real-estate mogul complimented first-, second-, and third-generation "Mexicans," which led Colbert to point out, "Yes, Trump is a big fan of second- and third-generation Mexicans, or as they’re known in America, Americans."
