Stephen Colbert is scared of Australian Trump lookalike Anthony Pratt

Over the previous 13 months because it was first revealed that Donald Trump had stolen top-secret paperwork from the White Home, we have been inundated with a sequence of extra particulars in regards to the hack — each seeming extra damning than the final.

And whereas it is discovered that the previous president believes he has the ability to declassify paperwork along with his thoughts, it did elicit some laughter from Stephen Colbert when the information broke greater than a yr in the past, Late Present The host seems to be utterly appalled by the current revelation that Trump shared details about US nuclear submarines with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt.

“Because of the case introduced by personal investigator Jack Smith, we at the moment are studying how a lot (Trump) likes to whisper our secrets and techniques to visitors at Mar-a-Lago,” Colbert stated Monday.

As for why Trump would expose some top-secret secrets and techniques to Pratt, Colbert theorized it was as a result of he “heard the man got here from Down Underneath and thought: ‘Effectively, that is the place the submarines are.'”

Whereas Trump has reportedly revealed the precise variety of nuclear warheads our submarines can carry, in addition to how shut one in every of these ships might get to a Russian submarine with out being detected, that is not even what scares Colbert. What scares him is Pratt himself: “Sir!” Colbert’s preliminary response was when he noticed a photograph of Trump and Pratt standing facet by facet. “It seems like they made Pratt’s hair out of Trump’s face and Trump’s hair out of it for him Face.”

Pratt additionally occurs to be a member of Mar-a-Lago, and in line with Pratt, by way of Colbert:

“One evening on the membership, the previous president began blabbering about our nationwide secrets and techniques after Pratt advised Trump he thought Australia ought to begin shopping for its submarines from the US.”

Which places a special perspective on the occasions in query so far as Colbert is anxious. “Trump was simply sealing the deal,” he stated. “Following the outdated gross sales mantra: ABC – At all times Compromise Nationwide Safety.”

Much more disappointing for the host was that Trump did not ask for something in alternate for some heated speak: “You possibly can’t give away our prime secrets and techniques with out buying and selling in some Australian prime secrets and techniques. Like the way in which they make blooming onions. Each petal is fried completely! Why do not they clump?”
