The episode opens with Colbert remarking on Trump's unprecedented meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, setting the comedic tone by highlighting the bizarre situation of two world leaders meeting on the future, showcasing their unique hairstyles as a metaphor for that disconnect . Colbert dives deeper into the increasing tensions between the U.S. and Canada, humorously lamenting that relations haven’t been this strained since Canada "stole the word 'bacon.'" He critiques Trump's protectionist tariffs, illustrating them with the amusing analogy of showing up to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with Captain Morgan. The laughter continues as he discusses the aftermath of the G7 summit where Trump not only agreed to a joint communique but later reneged it via tweet, akin to breaking up with NATO through a text message . To further emphasize the absurdity, Colbert humorously suggests the stark contrast between discussing tariffs with Canada and Trump's warm overtures toward Russia, questioning the logic behind engaging with unfriendly nations while alienating allies. His comedic narrative builds on Trump's rhetorical shifts, making light of the situation where "no U.S. officials have ever spoken this way about any U.S. ally, ever," teasing the audience with the idea of going to war with Canada . Through sharp wit and social commentary, Colbert’s segment illustrates the complicated relationships involved in contemporary geopolitics while engaging viewers with laughter, making serious issues digestible through comedy.
