Transcript
00:00Well, after years of saying he was going to do it, he did it.
00:06During Donald Trump's presidential campaign, the Republican hopeful promised that,
00:09if elected, he would pull out of the Iran deal.
00:12The now president fulfilled that promise on Tuesday, which led to late-night
00:15hosts joking that Trump keeping his word was the exception, not the rule.
00:19On NBC's Late Night, Seth Meyers imagined the first lady's reaction.
00:22According to the host, President Trump today announced that he would pull out
00:25of the Iran deal and said,
00:27Then Melania laughed so hard her mouth fell off.
00:33The joke was likely in reference to the women who have come forward to
00:36allege they had affairs with Trump while he was married.
00:39Or maybe he's just been promising to pick up his socks the whole time they've been together.
00:43No, it's the first one. Definitely the first one.
00:45On CBS's late show, Stephen Colbert added a new line to the president's quote about
00:49keeping promises.
00:50My lawyer keeps them on my behalf, but I pay him back eventually.
00:57Switching back to his own persona, the host wondered,
00:59And what are you talking about?
01:00What are you talking about?
01:02You literally just backed out of an American promise.
01:05That's like saying,
01:06I'm no longer denying my alcoholism.
01:09Let's drink to that.
01:11Over on TBS, Conan O'Brien also made a joke about the women who have accused
01:15Trump of being unfaithful to his wife, specifically Stormy Daniels,
01:18who Trump lawyer Michael Cohen paid to keep quiet about her alleged affair with the president.
01:23Said the host,
01:24Meanwhile, on Comedy Central's The Daily Show,
01:33Trevor Noah delighted in Trump's use of the phrase nuclear blackmail in the announcement.
01:37That makes sense.
01:38I mean, he's already being blackmailed by Putin and a porn star.
01:41A third one would be too much.
01:43And on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host went there saying this.
01:47The one time he should have pulled out, we ended up with Donald Jr.
