In an unexpected twist of late-night drama, former President Donald Trump reportedly "went bananas" after comedian Stephen Colbert delivered a biting takedown of the Trump family’s marital dynamics. Colbert, known for his sharp wit and political commentary, recently joked on The Late Show that Donald and Melania Trump's marriage was “on the rocks” following a string of public moments that raised eyebrows.
The controversial segment began with Colbert quipping, “I don’t want to say Donald and Melania’s marriage is in trouble, but at this point, the only thing more awkward than their relationship is trying to find a good Wi-Fi signal in the White House.” The audience erupted in laughter, and the late-night host didn’t stop there, poking fun at Trump’s relationship with Melania as “America’s most puzzling love story.”
Naturally, the joke didn’t sit well with the former president. Sources close to Trump claim that he was "furious" after watching Colbert’s monologue. “He went absolutely bananas,” one insider revealed. “He couldn’t believe Colbert would go so far. Donald thinks he’s untouchable, and this was just too much.”
Trump, known for his feisty Twitter responses, has yet to publicly comment on the roast, but fans and critics alike have speculated that he may take to social media to defend his marriage, as he often does when faced with public ridicule. Meanwhile, Melania Trump’s reaction remains unclear, as she’s maintained a relatively low profile since leaving the White House. However, sources close to the former First Lady suggest that she’s grown accustomed to the constant media speculation about her private life.
While Colbert’s joke certainly ruffled some feathers, it also sparked widespread conversation about the public scrutiny of high-profile marriages. In a world where every move of celebrities and politicians is under the microscope, the Trumps have long been at the center of tabloid gossip, with their marriage often scrutinized for its perceived distance and formality.
At the end of the day, it’s safe to say that Stephen Colbert’s comedy routine might not have been the nuclear bomb that “demolished” the Trump marriage, but it certainly provided the late-night laughs America loves. Whether or not it had any lasting effects on Donald and Melania’s relationship remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: Trump’s fury is as real as ever, and Colbert’s comedic jabs won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
