Stephen Colbert mocked President Donald Trump’s self-styled image as a savvy businessman after reports the White House was caught off-guard by an “oil price spike” amid the conflict with Iran. Opening The Late Show Wednesday night, the host seized on reporting that administration officials were surprised by the jump in oil prices and the resulting rise in gasoline costs after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes and the escalation in the Middle East. “Trump is scrambling to minimize the political damage posting earlier this week,” the host began, before reading aloud the president’s Truth Social post on the matter: “‘Short-term oil prices which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is a very small price to pay for USA and world safety and peace.’” “Easy for him to say he doesn’t pay for his own gas,” Colbert jibed, adding: “That’s anyone who stands behind him.” He flashed an image on screen of a staffer rubbing her nose during an Oval Office briefing, as the audience laughed. The host wasn’t finished, however, and began to skewer the president’s reputation as a deal-making executive who understands markets. “Somehow, President Businessman didn’t see all this coming,” Colbert said. The late-night host pointed to a report that White House staffers had been caught unprepared by the surge in oil prices over the weekend. According to one official cited in the report, “It was insane. It absolutely surprised the administration.” Colbert reacted with mock disbelief: “You were surprised that bombing the place the oil comes from makes the oil cost more?” He then riffed sarcastically: “I thought burning down the Ann Taylor Loft would lead to more sensible workplace separates.” Watch above via CBS.The post Stephen Colbert Mocks ‘President Businessman’ Being ‘Caught Off-Guard’ by Oil Price Spike first appeared on Mediaite.

- Gavin Newsom Fires Back at ‘Brain-Dead’ Trump After Prez Unloads on ‘Racis...
AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File California Governor Gavin Newsom unleashed a furious response to President Donald Trump late Wednesday, calling the president a “brain-dead moron” who “bombs children and protects pedophiles” after Trump mocked him over remarks about dyslexia made during a recent book tour stop. The clap back escalated a long-running feud between the Democratic governor and the president, who had earlier in the evening blasted Newsom on Truth Social and branded him “obviously a racist.” Trump’s attack came after resurfaced comments from Newsom during an event promoting his memoir Young Man in a Hurry, where he spoke about his academic struggles and lifelong dyslexia. “I’m not trying to impress you. I’m just trying to impress upon you, I am like you,” Newsom said in a conversation with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens last month. “I am no better than you.” “I am a 960 SAT guy. And I’m not trying to offend anyone, [or] act all there if you got 940. But literally a 960 SAT guy. You have never seen me read a speech, because I cannot read a speech.” MAGA Republicans seized on the remarks and accused the governor of talking down to Black voters. Trump piled on Wednesday, calling Newsom’s interview “the most self-destructive interview I’ve ever seen” and called the remarks a “politically suicidal act” that, he predicted, had effectively ended his prospects of becoming the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028. “In one fell swoop, he took himself out of even being considered as the Presidential Nominee of the Crazy (as proven at the State of the Union Address) Democrats,” Trump wrote. The president continued: “He said, in a speech, he was dumb, had low Boards, can’t read, has dyslexia, and has a mental disorder — A Cognitive Mess! On top of that, Black People are angry because he is obviously a racist.” Newsom shot back on X, saying the remarks referenced his dyslexia while taking a shot at the president’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files as well as new reports that suggest initial U.S. strikes against Iran on February 28 had hit a girls’ elementary school, killing nearly 200 people, most of whom children. “I spoke about my dyslexia. I know that’s hard for a brain-dead moron who bombs children and protects pedophiles to understand.” I spoke about my dyslexia. I know that’s hard for a brain-dead moron who bombs children and… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Social media firms asked to toughen up age checks for under-13sInstagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube and Roblox are among the platforms UK regulators say aren't putting children's safety at the heart of their products.
