First Dibs on the Gaza Strip
At a White House news conference on Tuesday, President Trump said the United States should take over Gaza, which he said could be turned into “the Riviera of the Middle East” once all the Palestinians there had been moved out.
On Wednesday’s “Late Night,” the camera cut from that clip to Stephen Colbert in a fright wig. “I’m sorry, that was just so shocking, it made me put a wig on,” he said.
“All these years, I don’t know why no one else thought to call shotgun on the Holy Land.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“OK, so just so I’m clear: Your idea is to take over Gaza, rebuild it into Mar-a-Lago, and make sure that the Palestinians who live there can’t go back? That is the craziest thing he’s said since yesterday and until tomorrow.” — DESI LYDIC
“After Trump announced his plan for Gaza, a Democratic congressman said he is filing articles of impeachment against him. Good luck with that. There’s a better chance of turning Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East.” — JIMMY FALLON
