Stephen Colbert Hilariously Claims Trump Has Made Americans “Horny” for Frugality
Late-night host Stephen Colbert brought a comedic twist to America’s shifting financial habits, joking that former President Donald Trump has made people “horny” for saving money. During a monologue on The Late Show, Colbert referenced a study suggesting that nearly two-thirds of Americans now find financial responsibility attractive, with many embracing budget-conscious behaviors—even on romantic dates.
To illustrate the trend, Colbert playfully tested out pickup lines suited for the frugal-minded. “Coupons are hot, y’all. And if you’re feeling freaky, maybe a Groupon,” he quipped. He also joked, “Hey sweet thing, are you an old sofa sitting on a curb? ’Cuz I wanna take you home and spray you down with Lysol.”
Colbert’s take highlights a growing cultural shift as Americans grapple with inflation and economic concerns. His witty remarks align with ongoing discussions about financial literacy and consumer spending habits in a post-pandemic era.
