EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “But guess what, buttercup, they’re working! Because we just learned Zimbabwe became the first country to officially cave on Trump’s tariffs. Aw yeah. That must have been very exciting news for Trump, because it was definitely the first time he ever heard of Zimbabwe. [Laughter] “Folks, great news, we just won a huge concession a huge concession, really. From the little truck that cleans the ice at hockey games. The Zimbabwe.” “I tell you what, the economic road is rough, that’s going to smooth things over.” In case you didn’t know, Zimbabwe has a GDP of 35 billion dollars a year. That’s almost as big as the greater metropolitan area of Poughkeepsie, New York! Which is, say it with me, “The 6th largest economy in the state of New York!” Why didn’t you say it with me?”
