Stephen Colbert had a shocking reaction to a video of Donald Trump enjoying a big meal on his flight. Trump was also joined by Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy and Mike Johnson. The former president ordered a Big Mac, fries, a Fanta and a Filet-O-Fish.
As soon as Colbert saw the photo, he mocked the group, calling them a “Jeffrey Epstein tribute band.” The comedian pointed out a problematic gesture involving a political candidate at the meeting.
Colbert quipped, “As commander-in-chief, Trump ordered the biggest meal of all, with a Big Mac, fries, a Fanta and a Filet-o-Fish.” He further joked, “Look, I know Trump has been accused and found guilty of many crimes, but certainly none are worse than ‘bringing filet-o-fish on the plane.’
While hosting the latest episode of The Late Show, Colbert took several digs at Trump after he was elected as the next President of the United States. The talk show host also questioned Trump’s decision to give Marco Rubio the post of Secretary of State, given their history of feuds.
The writer-comedian took a dig at the Republican nominee, saying, “Even if you spend years insulting Donald Trump, you can only get back into his good graces by praising him.” He added, “That’s why I’d like to take this opportunity to tell our president-elect to… pass.”
Meanwhile, Colbert’s comments about Trump’s eating habits come after RFK Jr. appeared on The Joe Polish Show last week and revealed his views about the former president’s food.
“The stuff he eats is really … bad,” a close Trump aide said. He added, “Expedition food is always bad, but the stuff that goes on that plane is absolutely poison.”
In his episode, Colbert zoomed in on the video and showed the reaction of RFK Jr., who looked clearly unhappy. The host said, “With that in mind, let’s take another look at RFK Jr.’s face while holding that burger.” He also said, “You can tell it’s McDonald’s because it’s a mouthful. Ba-da-ba-ba-bah, you asked for it.”
Meanwhile, Trump won the presidential election held in November and is set to take the seat as the 47th President of the United States.
