On Monday's “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert gave a brutal assessment of the business plan for Donald Trump's essentially worthless Twitter clone “Truth Social,” calling it “an old rapist's Easter cry.” presented.
The joke was inspired not only by Truth Social's abysmal earnings released this week, but also by the rambling and vicious nature of President Trump's Easter posts on Truth Social. And Colbert, meanwhile, ridiculed the “fake outrage” he received from conservatives over the weekend about Trans Visibility Day being held on the same day as Easter, calling for future false outrages. I enjoyed predicting what would be expected.
“Yesterday was Easter,” Colbert said in his monologue. “And Joe Biden had a lovely message for the nation, posting: 'Jill and I send warm wishes to Christians around the world who celebrate Easter Sunday.'” Easter Gives Us Hope reminds us of the power of Christ and the promise of Christ's resurrection. ” Elegant. ”
“Donald Trump also had a great Easter message,” Colbert continued. “April Fools' Day. It almost didn't take off. He posted this all-caps screed: “Evil, corrupt prosecutors who are doing everything they can to interfere with the 2024 presidential election and put me in jail. Happy Easter to everyone, including officials and judges, and many people I thoroughly despise.” “”
From there, Colbert talked about the White House's annual Easter egg hunt and tried to stir up controversy by complaining that Fox News doesn't allow religious-themed designs. Colbert scoffed at the idea that Easter egg hunts are in any way religious, pointing out that the rules the Fox News personality complained about have been in place for nearly 50 years, including during President Donald Trump's era. did.
“But in the nefarious world of hoaxes, there's always a Plan B,” Colbert continued. Trump also attacked Biden over the fact that this year's Easter coincided with Transgender Awareness Day. He went on to explain that although the date of Easter changes every year, the annual day celebrating transgender people has been held on March 31st since 2009. So he came up with a prediction about future false outrages.
“I have bad news for those who are upset that something was celebrated on Easter again this year, because it will keep happening. In 2029, Easter will fall on April Fool's Day,” he said with a grin. He said with a laugh, then took on a fake furious tone. “Oh, my religion is a big joke to you. Is that what you mean? Are you claiming that Jesus didn't actually rise from the dead? It was all a big prank on the apostles. You. was killed by Jesus!”
Then the logo of a fictional show about Jesus playing pranks on people appeared on the screen.
“And when you get it, smoke it, because next Easter is April 20th,” Colbert continued, again taking on a faux-exasperated tone. “Oh, the Liberals are trying to make Jesus into a long-haired sandal-wearing bearded hippie about peace and love. Groovy guy. Forgive your enemies.”
“All these messages are [Trump] The post has been uploaded to Truth Social. And there's some economic news about his lack of cash, according to new SEC filings from Truth Social in 2023,” Colbert said, adding that the company's profits were only $4 million and $58 million. The company explained that it had recorded a loss of .
“How could that be? They have a very solid business model: old rapists scream at Easter.”
Watch the entire monologue above.
