When [De Niro](http://time.com/4651739/danny-devito-on-jimmy-fallon/?iid=sr-link2 "undefined") stopped by the Wednesday night edition of _The Late Show,_ Colbert wanted to give him something special to remember his visit, so they hit the local souvenir shop to find the perfect parting gift. De Niro was open to having a Big Apple picture frame, but wouldn’t even consider the Trump magnet. “Give it your wife, put it on the refrigerator,” Colbert said in his sales pitch. “They’re really nice. They’ll stick to anything, even if they’re not metal.” Colbert was interested in an unlicensed _Late Show_ sweatshirt, but it was the Trump mugs that really caught his eye. He picked one up and smashed it, while [De Niro passed](http://time.com/4636913/robert-de-niro-on-inauguration-boycott/?iid=sr-link3 "undefined"). Colbert smashed the mug and offered a second to De Niro. “It’s two for $14.99\. If you don’t break another one, I’m losing money,” he joked to De Niro. [De Niro](http://time.com/4656451/robert-de-niro-trump-tweets/?iid=sr-link6 "undefined") passed, though, he agreed to the haul of a a t-shirt with a kitten scaling the Empire State Building, _King Kong_\-style, a fake Oscar statuette, and a stack of Trump candy.
