Trump's Tweets Preserved Forever
In a comedic segment from "The Late Late Show with James Corden," the host dives into the hilarity surrounding the National Archives' decision to preserve Donald Trump's tweets for historical purposes. Corden quips, “Future generations, I’m so, so sorry,” implying the tweets may not age well. He continues with a playful jab that these tweets will be archived under “impeachment evidence,” humorously juxtaposing them with crucial documents like the U.S. Constitution.
One memorable part of the segment highlights a specific tweet about Diet Coke, which serves as a comedic standout: "I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke." This line elicits laughter and applause, reinforcing the absurdity of some presidential tweets being deemed historically significant. Corden imagines a future movie where Nicholas Cage would try to "steal that tweet," further playing into the light-hearted mockery of the situation.
The segment also humorously critiques Melania Trump's official portrait, likening it to a brochure for a "two-day real estate seminar." This visual gag serves to poke fun at the often-starched images of First Ladies, contrasting it with a more playful and humorous undertone.
Corden doesn’t shy away from political commentary either, referencing a protest at a Washington Nationals game where fans unfurled a “Impeach Trump” banner. He jokes about the logistics of getting such a banner into a stadium, implying the ridiculousness of the situation, and cheekily adds that Trump supporters were more miffed about the waste of white sheets than the banner's message.
To wrap up, Corden introduces a quirky story involving a Dutch student who accidentally found themselves in Nova Scotia instead of Sydney, Australia, humorously attributing the error to the legalization of marijuana. He ties this anecdote back to the unconventional culinary phenomenon of “Peeps on pizza,” calling it the “Peeps-za,” in a fittingly bizarre twist that encapsulates how oddities have become par for the course in our times.
This segment demonstrates how humor can be a vehicle for commentary, wrapping serious public issues in laughter, while also reflecting ongoing cultural phenomena of the time.
