Stephen Colbert turned boos into cheers on Wednesday night as he chimed in on President Donald Trump’s controversial plans to accept a $400 million jumbo jet from Qatar’s ruling family.

“The Late Show” host noted that the luxury Boeing 747-8 would eventually be transferred to Trump’s post-presidential library, after a massive amount of taxpayers’ money had been spent on kitting it out as Air Force One of course.

It means Trump “will get to keep the jet even after he leaves office,” Colbert said, prompting boos from the studio audience.

But then he added, “You know what? That was pretty upsetting until I said the words, ‘He leaves office.’”

Those three words sparked raucous cheers and applause from the crowd.
