Stephen Colbert jokes about Donald Trump’s Easter address
Stephen Colbert spoke about Donald Trump’s Easter address during his monologue on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The talk show host, who has previously been critical of the administration, referenced the President’s remarks about the reported rescue of two crew members from an F-15 fighter jet shot down in Iran.
“What about the rescue that took place yesterday. It’s something that you rarely see,” Colbert said. “Yes, you rarely see a military operation announced next to the Easter Bunny.”
Colbert continued, “The closest is when President Obama did this,” before cutting to a clip of Barack Obama announcing the killing of Osama Bin Laden on May 1, 2011, with the Philadelphia Phillies’ mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, edited into the background.”
The host further joked, “I remember, I remember. Amazing night…After the bunny left, Trump repeated his threats to Iran.”
Colbert also referenced a clip of the President telling a reporter that the United States was “obliterating that country,” accompanied by upbeat jazz music.
The address came a day after Donald Trump drew widespread attention for a Truth Social post, in which the President said, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
The post has drawn significant attention internationally.
