President Trump hosted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy at the White House on Thursday.
On “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert said that hopes were high that Meloni, a right-wing populist and a favorite of Trump’s, could convince him to loosen up on tariffs. His admiration for her was demonstrated again when he marveled at her Italian-speaking ability during their news conference.
“[imitating Trump] It sounded great — it was beautifully presented. I’ll have the same thing she ordered, but double meatball, double parm.” — STEPHEN COLBERT.
“Trump got a visit from the prime minister of Italy today. He had them bring in lunch from the Olive Garden to make her feel at home.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Things went so well that they planned a second play date. Meloni announced that Trump has accepted her invitation to come to Italy for an official visit, and Trump is going to blend right in with the Italians, because he looks like a pile of prosciutto with a little spaghetti on top.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Easter weekend is almost upon us. And, man, oh man, if Jesus comes back and sees what’s going on, we are in deep trouble.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“For the first time since 2014, Easter and 4/20 will land on the same day this year, which is going to lead to some very long and confusing egg hunts.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“This Sunday, He is risen, and you is high.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Easter and 4/20 seem like a natural pairing ’cause whoever came up with our Easter traditions was definitely stoned.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
