Stephen Colbert asked Donald Trump a cruel question
During the “Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, the host addressed President Trump’s past comments about Iran’s desire to choose a new leader following the assassination of Ali Khamenei. At the time, Trump said, “We don’t want to come back and do this every five years or every 10 years. So, we want to elect a president who will not lead his country into war.” Responding to his comments, Colbert had a brutal question of just 7 words to ask the President. It was “When can we pick one of those?” Colbert’s response sparked massive excitement in the audience.
Additionally, Colbert also talked about the money that the President spent on the war with Iran, which reportedly cost $6 billion. He said, “Yes, it’s amazing. Do you know what you could buy with $6 billion? Twenty-seven Kristi Noem horse commercials.” His remarks referenced recent controversies involving Noem, including her alleged spending of taxpayer money on ad campaigns and her harsh response to the situation in Minneapolis. In light of the reaction he was removed from his post as United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Later, he was appointed as a special envoy for America’s SHIELD.
The war began on February 28, 2026, when the US and Israel launched joint airstrikes on multiple sites in Iran. Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei was assassinated in the attacks. Iran then retaliated with missiles and drones across the Middle East, targeting Israeli and US military bases.
