TV’s late-night hosts were quick to address the absolute, international mayhem left behind by Donald Trump’s declaration that the US would officially recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
He added that, “he recognised [Jerusalem] in a speech, but I’m still pretty sure he couldn’t recognise it on a map.”
Stephen Colbert seasonally joked about “peace talks roasting on an open fire”, with Trump signing the declaration framed by the White House’s Christmas decorations.
“Donald Trump just blew up the Middle East so hard that ISIS is going to take credit for it,” he joked.
