‘Trump’s Fabulous Billionaire Boys Trip’
President Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday, accompanied by 17 business leaders including Tim Cook and Elon Musk.
Stephen Colbert referred to it as “Trump’s fabulous billionaire boys trip” on Wednesday’s “Late Night.”
“It is so satisfying to realize that no matter how rich or powerful you may be, there’s a chance you might get stuck on a plane with Elon Musk.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“So, why are all the big money holes attending? Well, according to Trump, ‘I will be asking President Xi to open up China so that these brilliant people can work their magic.’ Oh, yes, these people can work magic — they’ve already made their taxes disappear. Illusion!” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“That’s your crew? Those are your boys? Not exactly the Rat Pack here, is it? That’s the kind of bachelor party that makes a stripper want to get her life back in order.” — JORDAN KLEPPER
“Trump was joined on the trip by Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth, and his son, Eric. Even Trump was, like, ‘I got to make some new friends.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“The main focus of the president’s trip is to make a trade deal with China. Trump was, like, ‘I’ll give you whatever you want as long as I don’t have to fly home with Elon, Hegseth and my son, Eric. Please!’” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (Beijing Edition)
“President Trump left for a major summit in China yesterday, where he’s sure to discuss important topics such as trade deals, the war in Iran and whether the Chinese can help get his fingers out of that pesky trap.” — JORDAN KLEPPER.
“President Trump arrived today in Beijing for his two-day state visit. And, apparently, he’s so jet-lagged that he’s been sleeping at night and staying awake during meetings.” — SETH MEYERS
“President Trump is set to meet today with Chinese President Xi Jinping. And I’m sure Trump is very relieved he gets to bow instead of shaking hands.” — SETH MEYERS, showing an image of Trump’s bruised hand
“That’s right, President Trump is set to meet today with Chinese President Xi Jinping and tour the historic Temple of Heaven. Which he’s actually done a couple of times before, but both times, doctors were able to revive him.” — SETH MEYERS
