Late-night comedians reacted humorously to President Trump's announcement of halting newly imposed tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. Michael Kosta joked about Trump's indecisive tariff policies, while Seth Meyers criticized how these decisions may raise consumer prices but were initially defended as protective. Stephen Colbert took a playful approach, suggesting Trump learned governance from the Hokey Pokey song. The levity in their segments highlighted the absurdity of Trump's fluctuating economic strategies and the potential fallout, such as Canada's removal of American alcohol products. Overall, the comedy illuminated serious matters in a light-hearted manner.
MICHAEL KOSTA This guy's so horny for tariffs, isn't he? [imitating Trump] I love any word with big natural double Fs.
STEPHEN COLBERT Did you learn how to govern from the Hokey Pokey song? You put the tariff on, you take the tariff off, you put the tariff on, and you play a round of golf.
