The “Late Show” host knocked the White House press secretary’s response to a “surprisingly reasonable” Trump question.
Stephen Colbert slammed White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday for brushing off concerns over Qatar gifting a $400 million plane to President Donald Trump, who plans to use the aircraft as his new Air Force One.
The “Late Show” host tossed to a clip of Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade hitting Leavitt with a “surprisingly reasonable” question as he asked her if she worries that Qatar expects “something in return” for the gift.
“Absolutely not because they know President Trump and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind,” Leavitt said.
Colbert broke out his Trump impression to declare that Leavitt was “absolutely right.”
“I never think about Donald Trump, all I think about is the American public and how much they’d like to buy this ‘Donald Trump Only Thinks About The American Public’ t-shirt,” Colbert quipped as he held up a tee in his hands.
He continued, “Folks, it’s available on DonaldTrump.com for only $75 Trump coins. Free shipping if you give me a jet. Limit one shirt per jet.”
