Colbert: ‘Trump Made a Decision that at the Last Minute Saved Our Nation from a Previous Decision by Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "Because this afternoon, after days of historic market losses thanks to trumps random-ass tariffs, the Dow skyrocketed nearly 3,000 points. And you know the old saying, whatever goes up must continue to go up forever. So why the surprise money party? Well, because just after 1:00 P.M. today, the  mad emperor of global trade decreed, 'Based on the fact that more than 75 countries have called representatives of the United States to negotiate a solution, I have authorized a 90-day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff... of 10%.' Well, thank goodness. Thank goodness that at 1:18:00 P.M. today, Donald Trump made a decision that at the last minute saved our nation from a previous decision by Donald Trump.”
