Donald Trump calls Barron 'Melania's son,' gets roasted by Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah

The President of the US Donald Trump became a laughing stock on Wednesday after he made a tongue-in-cheek remark about Melania and his son, Barron Trump. POTUS was roasted by Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah in their respective talk shows.

"She's got a son," Donald Trump spoke about his wife Melania Trump during his announcement on vaping-control measures. In an attempt to save the slip, the the 73-year-old US premiere added "together, that is a young man, and she feels very very strongly about it."

"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert started the show praising the Trump administration for their likely decision of banning flavoured e-cigarettes and went ahead to appreciate Trump's explanation on his decision, reports Daily Beast.

"Death is not a wonderful thing," the POTUS said explaining the reason behind the vaping control measures. Colbert suggested that in future we might see "Death is not wonderful" on the pack of cigarettes as Surgeon's General Warning.

As Trump spoke about Melania and her involvement in the decision "that's how the first lady got involved. She's got a son, together", Colbert gave him a sarcastic round of applause for his save.

"Nice save, buddy," Colbert said.

Mimicking the President, Colbert added, "First lady has got a son—together—it's a mutual son, of course, I'm very involved with the doings of it, and so is the first lady, who is a lovely mother, together, who I love and know her name so well that I won't waste your time saying it out loud. So...Tim Apple."

Meanwhile, "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah was also quick to notice the slip and joked "'She's got a son?' You mean the son she made with you? How on earth does Trump forget that he has a son," Noah exclaimed.

He even called POTUS "the worst Dad" comparing him with Star Wars character Darth Vader. "At least Darth Vader claimed his son. Trump would have said, 'Luke, she is your mother'," the host added.

This was not the only odd remark that Trump made on Wednesday. While talking about the need for restrictions on vaping, Trump said "innocent children are coming home and saying 'Mom, I want to vape'", reports Vanity Fair.

Before the tongue-in-cheek comments, the Trumps were already being trolled on Twitter for giving priority to vaping legislation instead of 9/11 anniversary.

Soon after tweeting pictures of her from Pentagon mourning the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attack on World Trade Centre, Melania in a post spoke about the "high usage of flavoured e-cigarettes" among the youth.

"Why may I ask are you tweeting this out on the anniversary of 9/11? Just curious. I mean you could wait a whole day to do this. #WeWillNeverForget," a user asked.

Several Twitter users questioned the attention being given to vaping instead of gun violence victims. "At least we have data on vaping, too bad your party won't allow data on guns," one commented.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump was criticised for starting the day with a tweet about a "hypothetical poll" of Presidential elections, around the same time when the World Trade Centre was attacked 18 years ago.

According to CNN, Trump somehow made the 9/11 attack about himself while talking about it at Pentagon. "I vividly remember when I first heard the news. I was sitting at home watching a major business television show. Early that morning Jack Welch, the legendary head of General Electric was about to be interviewed, when all of a sudden, they cut away," he said.
