“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday said that President Donald Trump’s war on Iran may soon be hitting him where it hurts: his stomach.
“Businesses are also being hurt,” Colbert said. “Today, we got a warning that continued supply chain disruptions could push costs higher – from the CEO of McDonald’s. Yeah, perhaps this will finally show Trump the true cost of war. Because this man, because this man did not work hard enough for peace, he could lose his 10-piece.”
Colbert also slammed Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, for suggesting that increased credit card spending was somehow a good thing.
“I had the head of one of the big five banks in my office yesterday going through the credit card data, and just as Secretary Bessent said, credit card spending is through the roof,” Hassett said on Fox Business Wednesday.
“Yes, things are great,” Colbert replied. “Credit card spending is through the roof. Bottle collection has become very popular. Sales of scratchers have skyrocketed. And there’s never been a better time to start a career as a bus station gigolo.”
