Late-night hosts discussed Donald Trump’s 90-minute press conference and his decision to fire attorney general Jeff Sessions.

Trevor Noah: ‘An hour and a half of crazy Trump’

On The Daily Show, Trevor Noah described the presser as “an hour and a half of crazy Trump at his finest”.

He then spoke about Trump’s decision to fire Sessions. “That’s not fair to President Trump,” he said. “He didn’t fire Jeff Sessions. He just said Rumpelstiltskin and then the curse was broken.”

He continued: “The timing is so brazen from Trump. This is literally less than 24 hours since the midterms. He knew that this wouldn’t look good before the midterms.”

Noah also shared surprise over the rift between the pair. “There were so many reasons that these two should have got along,” he said. “They both don’t like immigrants. They both like white people.”

His temporary replacement is Matthew Whitaker, who has been public about his distaste for the Mueller inquiry. Whitaker said on CNN that one way to curb it would be to cut funding, something that Noah described as “the most passive-aggressive way to kill an investigation”.

He continued: “Let’s face it, the Mueller investigation is in danger, and something tells me [that] right now, Robert Mueller is in a bathroom stall trying to finish his homework before they shut it all down.”

In conclusion, he said: “For the last two years, that’s been Trump when he’s winning. Now we’re going to see Trump when he’s losing.”

Samantha Bee: ‘She’s going to look under his wig’

On Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, the host also spoke about the firing of Sessions. “He wanted to leave so he could spend more time doing what he loves most: racism,” she joked.

During Trump’s unhinged press conference, he found himself confused when talking about seats gained in the senate by the Republicans. “I haven’t seen Trump struggle with math this much since someone asked him how many kids he has,” she said.

Trump also attacked CNN’s Jim Acosta, saying that CNN should be ashamed that he works for them. “No, we should be ashamed of you working for us,” she countered. “You are at work!”

Bee added: “That press conference was upsetting to watch.”

With Democratic control of the House, it means that Maxine Waters is now able to subpoena Trump’s tax returns. “Actually it means she can subpoena the fuck out of everything he does,” Bee said. “She’s going to look under his wig. She’s going to irritate the shit out of him every day – and we get to watch.”

Stephen Colbert: ‘Just out of habit, give it to a porn star’

On The Late Show, Stephen Colbert started by talking about the firing of Sessions. “Now there’s some confusion among stupid people as to whether Sessions was fired or resigned,” he said.

Trump was reportedly angry at Sessions deciding to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. “You can’t blame Sessions for recusing himself. It’s the only thing that’s good that he’s ever done,” he said. “It’s like hating Lou Bega for Mambo No 5.”

Colbert joked: “I assume he’s going to spend more time with his family separation policy.”

He also spoke about Whitaker’s idea of taking funds away from the Mueller investigation. “Trump could take all the money away from Bob Mueller and just, out of habit, give it to a porn star,” he said.
