“Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost was surprised by the audience reaction to a joke he made about President Donald Trump’s decision to send $40 billion to bail out Argentina’s economy.
Jost jokingly implied that Trump may have sent Argentina the money because, “If history is any guide, a lot of Trump officials will end up fleeing to Argentina.”
The joke was a reference to how thousands of Nazi war criminals were known to flee to Argentina in the aftermath of World War II.
