“I believe that years from now, I think we’ll all remember where we were when we did not watch Donald Trump’s speech last night.”
Donald Trump gave a primetime address from the White House on Thursday night, blaming immigrants and Joe Biden for the current state of his U.S. economy and promising an ‘economic boom” in 2026 (despite his decreasing approval ratings) among other things, all while surrounded by Christmas trees. And like Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert unpacked it all.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that years from now, I think we’ll all remember where we were when we did not watch Donald Trump’s speech last night,” said The Late Show host on Thursday. “Yesterday, Old Man Baloney Hands somehow convinced every network to preempt their primetime programming to air a presidential address from the White House…I’m not sure what the emergency was here, other than his poll numbers, because he just played the old hits.”
Colbert played a clip from Trump’s speech in which he said: “This is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, and it can never be allowed to happen again. We had men playing in women’s sports, transgender for everybody, crime at record levels with law enforcement and words such as that just absolutely forbidden.”
“Yes, words such as ‘that’ were forbidden,” joked Colbert. “Under Biden, you couldn’t say ‘that.’ You had to say you had to say ‘this but over there.’ But under Donald Trump, we’re finally saying ‘Merry Thatmas’ again.”

On last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host delivered a blistering, no-holds-barred monologue blasting Tru.m.p’s relentless rallies, courtroom battles, and social media tirades — demanding the former president pack up his gold sneakers, golf clubs, and massive ego and leave the United States for good. “Move to Russia, Saudi Arabia, or wherever dictators go to retire,” Kimmel said, adding that Tru.m.p’s permanent exile would be “the greatest gift to American democracy since the Constitution itself.” The moment went viral with over 48 million views, igniting fierce debates under #ExileTrump as Tru.m.p retaliated with a late-night Truth Social tirade calling Kimmel a “crybaby” and vowing to come back “stronger than ever.” As the nation watches the feud escalate, Kimmel’s parting words—“Peace starts when the noise stops.
