"A car is a golf cart that goes really fast." Yes, Musk was explaining to Trump WHAT A CAR IS!!

And is anyone concerned that the POTUS is making a car commercial for his "boss"? Actually advertising on his social media platform and on national TV that he is going to buy a Tesla so he can boost Tesla's plunging stock!

Late-night hosts discuss Trump’s tariffs, the plunging stock market and Republican efforts to deflect blame

theguardian.com/culture/2025/m

Kimmel:

"The Maga media, because they know daddy Donald is always watching, is bending over backwards to try to spin the fact that Trump is intentionally crashing the economy for reasons unknown," Kimmel explained. One Fox News commentator even compared the downturn to a drug addict going off heroin, requiring methadone before "they reach a level of health".

"Right, that makes sense," Kimmel deadpanned. "A nation of drug addicts picked a criminal to run the operation."

Colbert:

On Monday, "the Dow slipped on Trump’s tariffs and fell down an elevator shaft, and today it kept bonking its head on the way down," plunging more than 450 points. In just the last three weeks, the US stock market has lost $4tn in value. Experts now warn that the risk of a recession is about 40%. "And you can tell that even Fox News is taking that seriously," said Colbert, "because they’re already lying about it.

"Now, the White House is scrambling to convince the American people that bad economic news is just part of the plan," Colbert explained. As one White House aide put it: "It’s hard to rip the Band-Aid off without getting some blood everywhere."

"You know things are on the right track when your explanation involves the phrase ‘blood everywhere’,” Colbert quipped. “I’m no doctor, and not to quibble, but if there’s blood shooting out, maybe it’s not time to rip the Band-Aid off?
