Trump och Musk ger iaf Late Nights programledare en hel insjö att ösa material ur.
Ibland är drypande ironi det mest belysande...
◾Set Myers undrar kring Musks bejublade smarthet:
“Before he got involved in politics, Musk enjoyed a reputation as one of the smartest men in the world and an inventor without peer, and he couldn’t just be satisfied with that.
He also wanted to show everyone that he was good at memes, and then one thing led to another and now he’s waving chainsaws around and misplacing decimals, and it slowly dawns on people:
is it possible for a genius to also be super dumb? Like seriously, how does someone who calls himself an engineer confuse $8m with $8bn?"
◾Musk rök ihop med Sean Duffy, USAs transportminister förra veckan. Man bör väl även ha USAs flygolyckor i åtanke...
“I’d be pissed too if I was a member of the president’s cabinet, confirmed by the Senate, vested with a statutory authority over a giant government bureaucracy - and white Morpheus over here tells me to fire air traffic controllers. "
◾Ang kabinettets förvåning över att det inte flyter på så värst bra:
“Although I do love the naivety of a Trump official coming to a cabinet meeting and being shocked that things aren’t running smoothly.
“It’s like hiring your weed dealer as a babysitter and being surprised at the state of the house when you come home.”
◾Kimmel om uppsägningarna:
“You know, there was a time when firing people was the only thing Trump was good at! He can’t now even seem to do that.”
“You know how he fired all those federal workers without even knowing what they do? Well, a judge today ordered thousands of them to be rehired,” just in time for the government to shut down on Friday."
◾Om Trumps tullar, vilket inkluderar bourbon, whiskey, jeans och Harley-Davidsons:
“That is going to make it so much harder for European men to have a midlife crisis".
◾Trumps 200% tullar på fransk champagne.
Colbert:
“Meaning from now on, we’ll need to christen our ships with bottles of ketchup."
Kimmel:
“And that is particularly unfair.
He’s making it very expensive to get drunk.
He’s the reason we need to get drunk!”
