“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said President Trump should never give wedding toasts as he mocked parts of Trump’s speech to the South Korean National Assembly this week.
Colbert showed a clip of Trump where he praised South Korea for its strength, while also mentioning he won the election exactly one year ago.
“In less than one lifetime, South Korea climbed from total devastation to among the wealthiest nations on earth,” Trump said. “Life expectancy has risen from just 53 years to more than 82 years today. Like Korea, and since my election exactly one year ago today, I celebrate with you.”
“That is a hard turn. From Korean life expectancy to ‘I won the election.’ Do not have this man give the toast at your wedding. ‘Congratulations to the bride and groom. I hope they have a long and happy marriage, as happy as I was when I hosted the highly rated ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’ Top reality show of all time. Tremendous. I may now kiss the bride. Blehh,’” Colbert said, impersonating Trump.
TONIGHT: The President’s abroad on a mission to improve foreign relations, so it only makes sense that he gives the nicest compliments… to himself. #LSSC pic.twitter.com/b9uocXnb3v

Trump visited South Korea as part of his 13-day trip across Asia.
Trump is also scheduled to attend an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Vietnam and a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in the Philippines during the trip.
