As you may know, Donald Trump is pulling out of the Iran deal — a set up too good for any late night show to resist writing a punchline for!
Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and Trevor Noah all took the opportunity to joke about the President’s announcement on Tuesday, in which he called the policy “a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.”

While each late night host gave their best effort, we’d officially like to present the Best Trump-line of the Night Award to Conan O’Brien, who quipped in his monologue:
“Today, President Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. Out of habit, after pulling out, Trump paid Iran $130,000.”
*Stands up and cheers*
Ch-ch-check out the late night roundup (below) to hear more jokes and commentary about the soon-to-be defunct Iran deal!
American allies pulled out all the stops to convince Trump to stay in the Iran nuclear deal. Even sliding into his favorite TV show.
