President Trump's whirlwind tour of South Korea has left many in stitches, with late-night hosts poking fun at his lavish visit and the gifts he received from the Korean government. According to Seth Meyers, Trump is "getting the royal treatment" he so desperately craves, a stark contrast to the difficulties he faces back home.
During his visit, Trump met with South Korean leaders and assured them that their partnership with the US would guarantee speedy results, akin to China's authoritarian system where decisions are made quickly by Xi Jinping. However, Trump's boasts about speed were met with ridicule from Meyers, who joked that waiting two weeks for a dentist appointment is "very fast" compared to the real world.
Trump also claimed that his big, beautiful bill stuffed with goodies would never require Congressional approval, sparking laughter from Meyers and even Republican Senator Rand Paul. Paul described Trump's actions as "extrajudicial killings," eerily reminiscent of China's treatment of drug dealers.
Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert observed that Trump is like a reverse Santa Claus, collecting gifts while trying to stay out of trouble. When presented with mini beef patties with ketchup during an official lunch, Colbert quipped, "They're literally making him the Burger King!" Trump's antics have become so predictable that even the Canadian Prime Minister got in on the fun, prompting Colbert to retort, "Well, we also didn't come to South Korea to eat burger patties with ketchup, but that's just traveling with a toddler for you."
Jimmy Kimmel took a different approach, using Trump's antics as a metaphor for the chaos at home. He joked about an angry orangutan on the loose in South Korea and how easily Trump can be manipulated, likening it to when parents give kids Pokémon cards to get them to behave.
In the end, Trump's Asia tour has become a sideshow, with his antics providing endless entertainment for late-night hosts. As they say, "you can't make this stuff up."

I'm literally dying over here! The dude is so extra and it's like he thinks everyone's waiting on the edge of their seats just to see him do something. Newsflash, Trump: we've seen you try to 'make deals' before and they've all ended in train wrecks 
. And can we talk about these gifts from Korea for one second? Like, seriously, who gets a free trip and some fancy trinkets just because they're 'friends with the US president'? It's just weird 
. I mean, I love good comedy as much as the next person, but this is just ridiculous 
. And can someone please tell me what the plan is here? Is he trying to be some kinda international rockstar or something? 
This whole tour just feels like a big ol' circus to me 
and I'm not even mad about it lol. I mean, who needs world leaders when you got trump making a fool of himself in public? 
. And what's with all these jokes about his antics on late-night shows? It's like we've all been conditioned to think he's some kind of circus clown 
. Meanwhile, back home, there are real issues that need attention and you're over here eating burger patties with ketchup in South Korea 
and those "extrajudicial killings" comment by rand paul was lowkey the real tea for me 
️ and jimmy kimmel's orangutan analogy is just...wow. i mean, can we get some real entertainment over here instead of just watching trump make a fool of himself? 
[GIF of Trump trying to do a cool move and failing]
. but seriously, who tries to compare their approval rating speed to a authoritarian regime led by xi Jinping? sounds like trump's ego is getting in the way of actual policy decisions 
.
but let's be real, it's all just a show and he thinks he's still in the usa 
but newsflash trump, south korea isn't your dad's country 
. And what really got me was when Colbert said he was like a reverse Santa Claus collecting gifts... yeah, that's pretty much him in a nutshell 
trump's antics are like something out of a parody movie - "extrajudicial killings"?? what even is that?
