Lame duck comedian Stephen Colbert went on a tirade against President Donald Trump’s tariffs and heralded the supposedly impending doom of skyrocketing prices, and ended up beclowning himself in the process.
The disgruntled Late Show host snarked to his audience August 7, “I hope you remembered to set your clocks back to ‘more expensive,’” following Trump’s punitive tariffs on India for its continued purchase and resale of Russian oil and Brazil following a showdown with communist president Lula da Silva “over trade, energy, and the high-profile trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro,” according to Fox Business.
Colbert, never missing an opportunity to go after his nemesis, snooted how “[t]hey raise import taxes to the highest level since the Great Depression. Never a great sign. Never a great sign to be compared to the worst thing ever.” But there was a time when paying higher prices didn’t matter as much to Colbert, because there was a different guy in the White House.
