An article [published in the New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/us/politics/trump-white-house-aides-strategy.html) on Sunday reported that [Trump](http://time.com/4403869/donald-trump-harry-benson-archive/?iid=sr-link1) has been known to spend his evenings in the White House “watching television in his bathrobe.” Trump disputed the newspaper’s coverage of him, [tweeting](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/828642511698669569), “The failing [@nytimes](https://twitter.com/nytimes) writes total fiction concerning me.” In his response to the article, White House Press Secretary (“and [Melissa McCarthy’s](http://time.com/4660549/melissa-mccarthy-sean-spicer-saturday-night-live-donald-trump/?iid=sr-link3) retirement plan”) [Sean Spicer said](http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/318142-spicer-new-york-times-owes-trump-an-apology), “I don’t think the president owns a bathrobe.” Colbert realized that could only mean one thing: “Sean Spicer has seen [Donald Trump](http://time.com/4641233/donald-trump-inauguration-impeach/?iid=sr-link2) naked.” On _The_ _Late Show_ on Tuesday, Colbert decided to remedy that situation. “I may not agree with Donald Trump’s politics,” he said, “But I’ll be damned if I live in a country where my president wanders out on the front lawn in his boxers.” Colbert presented the president with an extraordinary robe, called Robe Force One. Colbert grinned as he showed off the robe’s features, including the Trump name emblazoned across it “It’s Trump brand,” said Colbert. “So it’s proudly not made in America.” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4663725/stephen-colbert-trump-robe/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4663725/stephen-colbert-trump-robe/"},"headline":"Stephen Colbert Reveals a Very Special Bathrobe for Trump","datePublished":"2017-02-08T17:22:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:54.879Z","description":"\"It's Trump brand so it's not made in America\"","url":"https://time.com/4663725/stephen-colbert-trump-robe/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","stephen colbert","Donald Trump","the late show","Late Night Television","sean spicer"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4663725/stephen-colbert-trump-robe/","name":"Stephen Colbert Reveals a Very Special Bathrobe for Trump"}}]}] ```
