All of the late night shows have taken aim at Trump and the Republicans trying to defend him after the House Oversight Committee published Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday book, which contained a creepy letter and drawing allegedly penned by the president.

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel both spent their shows on Tuesday mocking the Republicans scrambling to claim Trump's signature could be a fake, and The Daily Show follows a similar line in the clip above — before taking things a step further with a parody ad.

"Trump is playing this thing all wrong," says host Michael Kosta. "If he just admits that he wrote this card everyone can move on, and then he can do one of his favorite things of all time: Find a way to make some money out of it."

Cue a fake Trump ad for various creepy greeting cards.
