Transcript
00:00President Trump attempted to refer to the hard-hit town of Paradise, California, but couldn't get the name right.
00:07On Monday, the late-night host shared their thoughts on President Donald Trump's weekend visit to California,
00:12following fires that devastated both the northern and southern parts of the state.
00:16Trump made appearances in several places to personally witness the severity of the damage caused by the fires.
00:22During his visit, he stopped by Malibu, the Skyway Villa mobile home and RV park in Paradise,
00:26and operation centers where he met with first responders, law enforcement and representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
00:34Regrettably, Trump called the town of Paradise pleasure instead because he's Trump and this is what he does.
00:40On NBC's late-night Seth Meyers quipped,
00:42Ugh, he's like a guy who's trying to show his friend a porn video but keeps typing the wrong thing into the search bar.
00:47Also, nobody wants to hear dirty grandpa over here say the word pleasure.
00:52He might as well have said this fire really devastated the town of Moist.
00:56Over on CBS's Late Show, Stephen Colbert was equally miffed by Trump's pleasure comment, saying,
01:02Easy to get them mixed up. Just remember, Mr. President, pleasure is the dancer. Paradise is where she works.
01:08Colbert also addressed Trump's comments about climate change, in which the president said he wanted great climate.
01:14You want learned grammar.
01:17I want new president.
01:19And on CBS's Late Late Show, James Corden also mocked the commander-in-chief for incorrectly referring to paradise as pleasure.
01:25This also explains why when Trump got there, he shook the firefighters' hands by saying,
01:30It's a paradise to meet you. It's a paradise to meet you.
01:33And Corden just could not resist making this joke because, let's face it, we were all thinking it anyway.
01:38Donald Trump seemed confused about pleasure, to which Stormy Daniels said, Yeah, tell me about it.
