President Donald Trump has had a rollercoaster couple of days, and there’s no way the comedians of late-night television were going to let it pass without comment.

The late-night hosts also weighed in on a bombshell report released by The New York Times on Tuesday, which highlighted excerpts from a new book based off interviews with more than a dozen White House officials. The book claims that the president had suggested fortifying his border wall with a moat filled with snakes or alligators.
Kimmel referred to this incident as “Gatorgate” in his segment on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”:
