Funnyman Colin Jost's joke about Trump officers fleeing to Argentina like Nazis after the Second World Conflict fell flat on “Saturday Night time Dwell” this week — receiving a tepid clap from a single viewers member.
“If historical past is any information, a whole lot of Trump officers will find yourself fleeing to Argentina,” Jost stated, ready because the viewers awkwardly chuckled, with one resounding clap filling the room.
“Hey, one clap!” Jost stated because the joke fell flat.
Trump's $20 billion bail out for Argentina's financial system was introduced on Tuesday, and Jost joked the deal was struck as a quid professional quo in the course of the “Weekend Replace” section.
The suggestion, after all, is that Trump admin officers might be compelled to flee to Argentina to keep away from prosecution — much like how Nazis infamously made their technique to the nation after the Second World Conflict.
Jost tried to get better rapidly, transferring on to a jibe that slammed George Santos, who solely spent three months in jail after Trump commuted his seven-year sentence on Friday.
“Within the clinching sport of the NLCS, Dodger star Shohei Ohtani pitched six scoreless innings, struck out 10 batters, then hit three dwelling runs. It's a feat beforehand solely completed by George Santos,” Jost stated — referencing Santos' historical past of fibbing about his accomplishments.
