Colbert to Corporations Donating to East Wing Ballroom: ‘As You Bribe the President, No Hands’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

COLBERT: “Beautifully done. Trump has received a lot of money for his all ball dongle fr grilling corporations like Amazon, apple, comcast, Google, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Meta-platforms, and hard rock international. [Boos] Yes, the hard rock. So guests of the ballroom get to see all of the great rock ’n’ roll presidential memorabilia like Bill Clinton’s sax and Nixon’s cone bra. Trump needs all the cash he can get. He repeatedly said this ballroom would cost $200 million but now he’s saying it’s $300 million, which is going to buy a lot of ballroom. Just take a look at this scale model. Going to be bigger than the White House itself. It’s going to be 90,000 square feet. 90,000 is about the same size as a professional soccer field, so remember, corporations, as you bribe the president, no hands.”
