The over-the-top statements Donald Trump made on Tuesday while announcing he's running for president gave late night hosts, including James Corden, tons of material.

On The Late Late Show, Corden turned into Wayne Lovelyhands, the host of a quiz show where contestants must decide if the outlandish quotes he’s sharing were actually said by Trump. Despite Lovelyhands telling players David and Ian that the answer to every question is "true," the pair struggled to believe that Trump actually said things like "I like China. I just sold an apartment for $15 million to someone from China. Am I supposed to dislike them?" and "I am using my own money. I'm not using donors. I don't care. I'm really rich." Lovelyhands had to gently remind them that each statement "was said in 2015 to a room of actual human beings, and he was aware that he was being filmed." Watch the bit below, and find out which Trumpism made David declare, "I cannot accept a world where that is true." Catherine Garcia
