Stephen Colbert Stunned By Trump's Latest Jaw-Dropping Line

The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday expressed his pure astonishment at one of Donald Trump’s latest claims.

In a Truth Social post, the president said “interim authorities” in Venezuela — following a U.S. military operation that seized President Nicolás Maduro — had agreed to hand over 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States.

Trump said the oil would “be sold at its Market Price,” adding the proceeds would be “controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”

Colbert was stunned.

“Good God,” he said. “That is the most illegal-sounding thing I have ever heard.”

"The fact that not one single spine-having, duty-bound adult in American government exists to slam the brakes on this sh**show carnival is proof enough that this country deserves every ounce of contempt, ridicule, and global hatred it’s about to choke on for the next hundred years."

He may not take the money directly, but the oil companies will be handing over trunks of money for Krasnov's slush fund.
