Colbert made a number of citrus themed puns at the president's expense.
The host of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert poked fun at Donald Trump’s relationship with the English language, after the president struggled to pronounce the word"origin."
President Donald Trump at the National Republican Congressional Committee Annual Spring Dinner on April 2, 2019, in Washington, DC. His mispronunciation of the word “origin” was the target of late night TV hosts. JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images On cue, Colbert went into full pun mode, saying “Yes! Yes, sir! We must take a look at the 'Oranges of the investigation!' I say it is 'high clemen-time' we do so! The American people will not 'stand-gerine' for it any longer! We can vitamin C right through the lies! We tropi-can handle the juice!"
The White House transcript later recognized Trump’s mispronunciation but spelt “oranges” in a different way, noting it as"oringes."
