Stephen Colbert, the sharp-witted host of The Late Show, took aim at Donald Trump during a recent episode, mocking the former president's latest outlandish claim. Trump insisted that the hosts of The View had "begged" him to appear on their show—a statement Colbert found hilariously implausible.
"Oh, they were on their knees," Colbert quipped, adopting a sarcastic tone. "They were pleading, 'Please, Mr. Trump, grace us with your presence!'" The audience erupted in laughter as Colbert exaggerated Trump's alleged ego.
Trump's remarks came during a rally where he frequently veers into unverified anecdotes. Colbert, never one to miss an opportunity for satire, dissected the claim with his signature blend of humour and disbelief.
"Let me get this straight," Colbert continued. "The same women who’ve spent years criticising you suddenly dropped everything to beg for an interview? Sure, that tracks." His deadpan delivery left little doubt about the absurdity of Trump's assertion.
This isn't the first time Colbert has targeted Trump's penchant for hyperbole. The late-night host has built a reputation for skewering political figures with razor-sharp wit, and this segment was no exception.
Meanwhile, The View has yet to respond to Trump's comments—though given their history of fiery debates, it's unlikely they'll stay silent for long.
