Stephen Colbert reacts to Trump's 'hare-brained' Iran War speech next to Easter Bunny
Published on April 7, 2026.
Donald Trump had a controversial Easter weekend at the White House, where he delivered an expletive-laced speech warning Iranian officials to "Open the F---IN' [Strait of Hormuz], or you'll be living in Hell." The following day, he delivered a rambling address from The White House alongside First Lady Melania Trump and an actor dressed in a giant Easter Bunny costume. The President also mentioned the successful rescue of two crew members from an F-15 fighter jet shot down in Iran, egg prices, new White House fencing, and even the Melania movie. Stephen Colbert responded by lampooning the speech and comparing it to a previous announcement by President Obama announcing the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
