Also on Thursday, The Post published transcripts of phone conversations Trump held with two foreign leaders a week after taking office. His conversation with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto touched on the political problem of Trump’s vow to make Mexico pay for a proposed border wall and has left some Mexicans flabbergasted. A Jan. 28 call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull became particularly acrimonious, The Post’s Greg Miller reported.

The transcripts provided plenty of fodder for the late-night shows.

Here are some of the highlights:

Stephen Colbert on ‘The Late Show’

A longtime critic of the president, “The Late Show” host reveled in the news of the grand jury.

“I’m going to say something right now, that nobody has said before: ‘God, I wish I had jury duty. I’m available,’ ” Colbert said.

He also joked about the difficulty about finding unbiased people to serve on this jury.

“Ma’am have you ever heard of a man by the name of Donald Trump?

“No, father never mentioned him in our cave-dwelling cult. May the shadows protect.”

Colbert went on to say the grand jury is a sign the investigation into Russian meddling doesn’t mean there will be a trial, but a strong indication something is going to happen.

“It’s like picking up a blind date and the first thing they say is hey I need some condoms, can we swing by the store? No reason, no reason.”

Colbert then turned his attention toward the transcripts of Trump’s phone calls with the leaders of Mexico and Australia.

Or, he joked, as Trump refers to them, “bad hombrestan” and “koala lampur.”

Colbert took particular interest in Trump’s comment about refugees whom the United States had agreed to take from two holding centers.

TRUMP: I hate taking these people. I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people.

“Is that the name of a band,” Colbert mused.

“We are the local milk people! Thank you, Chicago!”

“Or are they a race of ‘Star Trek’ aliens? We are the milk people of creamolon five. May the curds be with you.”

Colbert added that for someone who talks constantly about representing the forgotten men and women, Trump can’t even remember the job known as “dairy farmer.”

“I care so much about the forgotten Americans. I will protect the small-town jobs of the milk people and the ‘underground-shoveling-electricity folks,’ and the ‘make-the-corn-not-be-on-the-plant-but-in-my-mouth guys!’ ”

Jimmy Fallon on ‘The Tonight Show’

Fallon also made light of Trump’s reference of American dairy farmer “milk people.”

The “transcript from President Trump’s phone call with Australian prime minister was just leaked. Yep. And people are talking about this. At one point, Trump referred to U.S. dairy farmers as local milk people,” Fallon noted.

“Even worse, he referred to cows as spotted milk horses.”

Finally, he touched on Trump’s comment that New Hampshire is “a drug-infested den.”

“New Hampshire says it’s furious, while Colorado says it has to find a new nickname.”

Seth Meyers on ‘Late Night’

The “Late Night” host poked fun at Trump’s love of the grand.

“Trump’s probably excited because he thinks a grand jury is just a fancier jury,” Meyers said.

Imitating Trump’s voice, he added: “So beautiful, not like one of those dump juries. Beautiful gold 12 chandeliers.”

Meyers then jumped to news about the January conversation between Trump and Mexico’s president, focusing first on Trump’s statements about the proposed border wall.

TRUMP: So what I would like to recommend is — if we are going to have continued dialogue — we will work out the wall. They are going to say, “who is going to pay for the wall, Mr. President?” to both of us, and we should both say, “we will work it out.” It will work out in the formula somehow. As opposed to you saying, “we will not pay” and me saying, “we will not pay.”

Meyers compared this to friends returning from a bachelor party.

“We cannot say we went to a strip club. Your wife will ask and my wife will ask, and it’s best if we just say we had some steak and went to bed early. But this only works if we both do it!”

Meyers noted that in talking about his election victory, Trump talked about Trump in the third person, according to the transcripts published by The Post.

TRUMP: In Ohio, they are having rallies for Trump right now because Trump has taken a hard stance on Mexico. We lost a lot of factories in Ohio and Michigan and I won these states — some of these states have not been won in 38 years by a Republican and I won them very easily. So they are dancing in the streets. You probably have the same thing where they are dancing in your streets also, but in reverse.

“Trump sounds like he learned his facts about other countries in a children’s books,” Meyers said.

Employing his Trump voice again, he joked: “Did you know in Mexico they dance backward? They walk on their hands and they wear their shoes on their heads.”

He then noted Trump’s “drug-infested den” line about New Hampshire.

Feigning annoyance, Meyers said, “Don’t call it a drug-infested den. It’s New England, Call it a drug-infested inn.”

Trevor Noah on ‘The Daily Show’

Noah turned to an infamous video from the archive to serve as the punchline for a joke about Trump and the grand jury.

“We have live footage of Donald Trump right now,” Noah said, as the show cut to a scene of the O.J. Simpson chase.

Then he pondered how difficult a getaway for Trump would be: “If they find out that Trump did commit a crime, he is the one American who can’t escape to Mexico.”

“I just picture him now driving,” Noah said, before switching into Trump voice to add: “We just get over the border and then we start a completely new life, God damn it who built this big beautiful wall, God damn.”

Noah then commented on Trump’s conversation with Peña Nieto about paying for the border wall.

AD

TRUMP: On the wall, you and I both have a political problem. My people stand up and say, ‘Mexico will pay for the wall,’ and your people probably say something in a similar but slightly different language.

“First of all,” Noah said, “I think the language is completely different.”

Then he compared Trump to a high school boy who has started a rumor about a girl that he can’t control.

“Hey Sarah, right, we’ve got a problem. So I told everybody we’re dating. We’ve got to figure this out.”

“Why is it our problem?”

“It’s us now. We’re dating. We’re dating.”
