“That’s your crew? Those are your boys? Not exactly the Rat Pack here, is it?” the comedian said. “That’s the kind of bachelor party that makes a stripper want to get her life back in order.”
Klepper then quipped that even Trump was underwhelmed by his guests, citing a downtrodden looking president exiting Air Force One in China as supposed evidence.
“In fact, you can tell that was not a fun flight by watching Donald Trump walking down the staircase after he landed in Beijing,” he joked. “I mean, look at that. That is a man who spent 19 hours sitting next to Elon Musk.”
Klepper added, seemingly channeling Trump, “Yeah, sure. Yeah. All right. Let’s hear Grok do the Borat voice again. Oh, yeah. All right. Apartheid South Africa was very nice. Yeah. When do we land?”
As Klepper went on, he teased that Trump’s spirits were lightened by the welcome he got upon his arrival in China, which included “a Jennifer Hudson spirit tunnel of business-casual children.”
“That chant translates to, ‘Ballroom now! Ballroom now,’” Klepper said after playing footage of the welcome. “And then, of course, Tim Cook got off the plane and was like, ‘Hey, you kids get back to work, huh? I’m not paying you a nickel an hour to sing.’”
Watch Klepper’s full monologue above.
“The Daily Show” airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
