Today is March 12th. Here's what's trending and entertainment. Stephen Colbert had a sharp comeback for Donald Trump. After the former president said he wants to choose Iran's next national leader. Trump argued for someone who won't drag the country into war again, saying he doesn't want to keep dealing with these messes. Colbert didn't hold back on his late-night show. Trump's comments come amid the ongoing conflict that kicked off on February 28th, 2026. That's when the United States and Israel hit Iranian sites with joint air strikes, taking out Supreme Leader Kamenay. Iran fired back hard, with missiles and drones aimed at Israel and American bases across the Middle East. Viewers and critics are buzzing about the exchange, with many seeing it as Trump overstepping on foreign policy. The war has already caused lies and strained alliances, pulling in resources from both sides. Colbert used the moment to highlight how these decisions affect everyday people far from the front lines. On his show, Colbert also called out Trump's massive spending tied to

the war efforts. Billions have poured into military operations, and the late-night host question, if that's the best path forward, it sparked debates on late-night TV and social media alike. Meanwhile, the situation in the region remains tense, with no clear end in sight. Leaders on all sides are watching closely, and Trump's bold idea has only added fuel to the fire. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode. When you need a moment alone, just lay back and listen. S-O-L-I-SoliPillo.com.
