US President Donald Trump confused reporters when he clambered onto the roof of the White House and rambled unintelligibly during a conference
Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert hit out at convicted felon Donald Trump after the US President’s unexpected White House roof press conference. Trump was seen clambering onto the White House roof through an open window on Tuesday morning for an “inspection” before the construction of the building’s ballroom begins next month.
The US president was filmed walking around the rooftop while yelling unintelligibly to the reporters down below. Not one to miss a dig at the former reality star, Stephen Colbert discussed the strange moment on the recent episode of The Late Show, which will air its last episode in May.
He highlighted the strangeness of the situation by pointing out that a reporter had to ask him: “Why are you on the roof?” Stephen said to the audience: “At one point, the president tried to communicate through hand signals of some kind.” It comes after Donald Trump’s mental state ‘clear to see’ as lawmakers urged to ‘act now’.

“I don’t know what this is,” Stephen joked as he copied how Trump gesticulates. “I think he’s saying, ‘Look, the Capitol dome is a D cup. Look at that’.”
Stephen continued: “Then he did some very normal unmiked roof shouting,” before showing the footage of the president’s unintelligible ramblings. A reporter was heard yelling: “What does that mean?”
A bewildered Stephen echoed the reporter’s thought and said: “Yeah. What does that mean?” as the camera panned to a higher angle above him. “What does any of this mean? How are you the guy in charge?
“Why do we have to pretend? Why do we have to pretend it’s normal when an old man wanders around a roof and shouts at us?”
During the impromptu roof conference, a reporter asked: “What are you building?” Trump answered: “It goes with the ballroom, which is on the other side.”
“What are you trying to build?” another reporter shouted. “Missiles,” Trump responded. “Nuclear missiles,” he repeated while making the gesture of a rocket launching. However, it ended up looking like a Nazi salute.
Meanwhile, CBS recently announced their decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, with the show not returning after May 2026.
Trump, who is known to lash out at celebrities, was delighted at the news and took to his social media to share his excitement over The Late Show’s cancellation.
“I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” he wrote.
“Greg Gutfield is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.” In a segment on Stephen’s show, the host read out Trump’s tweet while doing an impression of the President’s voice.
The audience booed the tweet before Stephen confidently said: “How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?” before turning to a different camera and adding: “Go f**k yourself!”
