All thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump's latest "covfefe-type" gaffe on his Instagram account, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has now received his 15 minutes seconds of fame on a pretty-famous American late-night television talk show.

During The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday, Stephen Colbert, American comedian and regular tormentor of Trump, joked about Trump's poor week at the 2017 G20 Hamburg summit in Germany, highlighting that Trump misidentified PM Lee as Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

The post, which was deleted and reposted a few hours later, was initially captioned "President Trump and the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo speaking before the start if the bilateral at the #G20Summit in # Hamburg, #Germany. # USA"

Colbert added that maybe we should give him some slack, since Trump's previous international diplomacy experience was with the Miss Universe pageant, suggesting that his life would be far easier if the other world leaders would just wear "their damned sashes."

While Today newspaper, who has a reporter following updates from G20 in Hamburg, noted that PM Lee did not mention Trump's gaffe, Lee did give this one-liner to let the matter rest: "I assure you it was me!"

You can watch Colbert's whole monologue here. The part where PM Lee is mentioned comes in at about the 1:40 mark:
