During Tuesday’s episode of _The Late Show_, the host commemorated the news that Ivanka is shuttering her namesake clothing and footwear company with some pointed comments. “Today it was announced that Ivanka Trump is closing her namesake fashion brand,” he said. “Yeah, she’s closing down her namesake fashion brand because she wants to spend more time with her namesake fascism brand.” Colbert went on to take a jab at the fact that [Ivanka’s products were made abroad](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ivanka-trump-products-not-made-america). “Evidently, her clothes weren’t selling,” he said. “But what’s she going to do with all the unsold product? She’s got all that inventory. Well, hopefully she’ll take a cue from the losing Super Bowl teams and ship it to a developing country. Those kids deserve those clothes. After all, they made them.” Watch the full clip below.
