In a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, host Stephen Colbert did not hold back in expressing his frustration with President Donald Trump‘s recent actions. Colbert referred to Trump as an “overweight, ignorant dictator” who is ruining the future with his incompetence.

Colbert started by highlighting the numerous disastrous moves made by Trump and his administration over the weekend. From giving Elon Musk access to the treasury’s payment system to firing DOJ prosecutors who worked on the January 6th insurrection, Trump’s actions ranged from questionable to downright alarming. He even had the Pentagon kick out reputable media outlets and replace them with right-wing sources.

But perhaps the most concerning development came when Trump announced that all goods from Canada and Mexico would be subject to a 25% tariff. Colbert humorously mentioned that Trump is already “pissing off the neighbors” just two weeks into his presidency. Canada, being one of the biggest trading partners of the United States, supplies a significant amount of fruits, including berries, lemons, and limes.

The tariffs imposed on Canada would also raise prices on essential household items like ovens, stoves, and microwaves. Colbert jokingly lamented that he would have nothing to look at when he needs to know the wrong time. All of this, according to Trump, is an effort to stop immigration and the flow of Fentanyl, even though Canada contributes less than 1% of the Fentanyl supply in the United States.

As a result of these tariffs, the US relationship with Canada, a long-standing ally, is beginning to sour. At a recent basketball game, Canadians were seen booing while the US national anthem played. This is a clear indication of the disappointment and confusion many Canadians are feeling towards the US.

However, there is a glimmer of hope. Just this afternoon, Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the tariffs would be postponed by 30 days as the two countries negotiate a border deal. This delay gives Americans time to enjoy Canadian delicacies like ketchup-flavored potato chips and, of course, maple syrup.

While Trump hinted that these tariffs might not last long, it is evident that many people, including Democrats, Republicans, and even Ronald Reagan from the grave, oppose them. Tariffs have long been seen as detrimental to the economy and national security. Nonetheless, Trump remains adamant in his support for tariffs, claiming that anyone who loves and believes in America is in favor of them.

Overall, the recent actions of the Trump administration have left many Americans and Canadians concerned about the future of the relationship between the two countries. The trade war between the US, Canada, and Mexico is being widely criticized, with even Colbert mocking it as the “dumbest trade war in history.” As negotiations continue, only time will tell how the situation unfolds. Stay tuned to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for more updates on this ongoing saga.
