"Short-term oil prices which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is a very small price to pay for USA and world safety and peace. Easy for him to say he doesn't pay for his own gas, Colbert jibed, adding: That's anyone who stands behind him."
"Somehow, President Businessman didn't see all this coming, Colbert said. The late-night host pointed to a report that White House staffers had been caught unprepared by the surge in oil prices over the weekend. According to one official cited in the report, It was insane. It absolutely surprised the administration."
"You were surprised that bombing the place the oil comes from makes the oil cost more? He then riffed sarcastically: I thought burning down the Ann Taylor Loft would lead to more sensible workplace separates."
Stephen Colbert opened The Late Show by mocking President Trump's response to unexpected oil price increases following U.S.-Israeli strikes in the Middle East. Trump posted on Truth Social that rising oil prices were a small price for safety and peace. Colbert ridiculed this statement, noting Trump doesn't pay for his own gas. The host further criticized Trump's reputation as a savvy businessman, highlighting that White House staffers were caught off-guard by the oil price surge. According to reports, administration officials were surprised by the market reaction to bombing operations in the region. Colbert sarcastically questioned how the president failed to anticipate that military action affecting oil-producing areas would increase oil costs.
