“See that movie, it became number one. She then went to streaming, it became number one,” Trump said, referring to the “Melania” documentary. “I say there’s only room ― remember this ― for one star in a family, so I better get rid of that. That’s not so good!”
The comment puzzled Colbert.
“Better get rid of that?” he asked. “That’s a pretty weird thing to say to your wife.”
Then, Colbert shared a greeting card from the president to the first lady.
“Roses are red. I love a gardenia. Time for you to go back to Slovenia,” he read.
That wasn’t the only Trump family member Colbert mocked in his second-to-last episode. Earlier in the segment, when noting that the Trump cellphone was finally out after a nine-month delay, he said: “The only Trump item more disappointing after a nine-month wait was Eric.”
After the audience laughed, Colbert turned to the camera and added one final dig.
“You know, I’ve said a lot of mean things about Eric over the years,” he said, seemingly setting up an apology.
None was forthcoming as he turned away from the camera and continued the segment.
