Comics,
including Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Samantha Bee, addressed the
international standoff between Donald Trump and Kim Jung-un
Late-night
hosts on Wednesday discussed president Trump’s handling of the North Korean
threat and a new book by Joshua Green on Steve Bannon’s rise to power.
“It’s great
to be here tonight,” began Stephen Colbert. “It’s great to be anywhere tonight,
because tensions are building between president Donald Trump and North Korean
president and disappointed volleyball Kim Jung-un.
“If you’ve
been living under a rock for the past couple of days, I hope it’s lined with
lead because this past weekend the UN imposed harsh sanctions on North Korea to
try to get them to curb their nuclear program,” the host explained. “North
Korea responded by threatening revenge on the US, so renowned deal artist
Donald Trump saw the threat of apocalypse and raised them one armageddon.”
Colbert then
showed the now infamous clip of the president threatening North Korea with
“fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen before”.
