“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said on Wednesday the entire world is waiting for President Donald Trump to reveal what the United States will do about the growing military conflict between Israel and Iran.
“Well, last night, Commander-in-Chief Donald John Trump, after consulting with his advisers, poised on the precipice of history, made a powerful and momentous declaration,” Colbert said.
Trump announced he was installing a pair of “tall” and “tapered” flagpoles on the grounds of the White House, calling them “the most magnificent poles made.”
“It sounds pretty cool,” Colbert said. “But fair warning: If you Google ‘tall tapered magnificent pole’ on your office computer, you will get a call from HR.”
Trump supervised the raising of the poles on Wednesday but was afraid to use a certain word to describe it.
“They call it a lifting,” Trump said. “They also use another word, but I’m not going to use that word. You know what that is? The word, it starts with an ‘E.’ You know what the word is?”
Colbert took a guess at what that word might be.
“It’s a word that starts with an ‘E’ that he’s embarrassed to say publicly,” Colbert said, then concluded: “Eric!”
