Trump’s Comments Draw Fire

President Trump’s vulgar comments about immigrants from Haiti and parts of Africa — what he called “shithole countries” — inevitably served as late-night TV fodder on Thursday. But most hosts had a hard time figuring out how to make them funny (and all shows but Trevor Noah’s bleeped out the operative word).

“Trump reportedly said, ‘Why are we having all these people from [expletive] countries come here?’ Sir, they’re not [expletive] countries: For one, Donald Trump isn’t their president.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

Mr. Noah deadpanned: “Guys, I don’t know how to break this to you, but I think the president might be racist,” adding, “As someone from South Shithole, I’m offended.”
