Stephen Colbert Likens Trump's Tariffs to an Economic Infection
Briefly

After Trump's announcement of new tariffs, late night comedians such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Michael Kosta shared their humorous takes on the economic implications. Colbert noted the stock market's significant drop as the worst since Covid, humorously likening Trump to a disease. Fallon remarked on Trump's fluctuating tariff rates and approval ratings, while Kosta joked about tariffs being applied even to uninhabited islands. The comedic commentary highlighted both confusion and absurdity surrounding the tariff decisions, reflecting broader concerns over economic stability.
"It turns out a very precise mathematical formula was created. And then Trump just said, Forget that we're doing it Plinko style."
"Yep, Trump's tariffs went all the way from 54 percent to 10 percent, and today, so did his approval rating."
"President Trump yesterday announced a base line tariff affecting more than 180 countries, including a group of uninhabited islands near Antarctica."
