Trump Has United The Planet... Against Him In this segment from "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the host humorously addresses the global perspectives on President Trump, presenting a comedic yet insightful take on international approval ratings. Colbert opens by celebrating the Fourth of July, emphasizing the unique American holiday spirit, which involves pyrotechnics. However, he swiftly transitions to a more serious note, highlighting a recent Pew Research poll revealing that Trump's global approval sits at a mere 22%. This sets the stage for his jest that Trump has effectively "united the planet" against him. Colbert incisively notes that Trump's unpopularity spans across six continents, with particularly low approval in allied nations such as Germany, where 87% of citizens express a lack of confidence in him. Interestingly, Colbert points out that Russia exhibits the highest confidence in Trump, soaring to 53%, a confusing twist that underscores the complexities of international relations during Trump's presidency. In a lighthearted jab at Trump's brand, Colbert shares that the Trump International Hotel in Toronto is removing Trump's name, accentuating the ongoing protests against the hotel's association with Trump's controversial remarks. This scenario exemplifies the broader negative sentiment towards Trump internationally. Additionally, Colbert doesn't shy away from touching upon issues surrounding Trump’s family, specifically mentioning Ivanka Trump’s clothing line, which has faced scrutiny from activists revealing labor abuses, further tying personal controversies to the broader political landscape. Overall, this segment cleverly combines humor with pointed political critique, characteristic of Colbert's late-night comedy style, effectively capturing the zeitgeist of global perceptions of the Trump presidency.
