Stephen Colbert Stunned By Trump's Latest Jaw-Dropping Line [View all]

The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday expressed his pure astonishment at one of Donald Trump’s latest claims.

In a Truth Social post, the president said “interim authorities” in Venezuela — following a U.S. military operation that seized President Nicolás Maduro — had agreed to hand over 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States.

Trump said the oil would “be sold at its Market Price,” adding the proceeds would be “controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”

Colbert was stunned.

“Good God,” he said. “That is the most illegal-sounding thing I have ever heard.”
