Late Show host Stephen Colbert recently called out President Donald Trump for claiming to have made 200 trade deals, despite there only being 195 countries in the world. Colbert humorously pointed out this discrepancy, jokingly suggesting that Trump must have made deals with fictional places like Wakanda and Narnia.
In his Trump impression, Colbert quipped, “It’s true, that’s the art of the deal. I made deals with Wakanda, Narnia, McDonald’s Playland, East Korea, and I drove a very hard bargain with the princess of Genovia. Tough gal, tough lady.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent attempted to clarify Trump’s statement by mentioning “sub deals within the negotiations,” but did not provide further details. Colbert seized the opportunity to mock Bessent, jokingly impersonating him and referencing fast food chains like Subway and Jersey Mike’s in relation to these supposed sub deals.
Colbert’s Monday night monologue was filled with humor and satire as he poked fun at Trump’s exaggerated claims of trade deals. The late-night host’s sharp wit and comedic timing made for an entertaining segment that left viewers laughing.
