James Corden risked a backlash in the US after claiming 'the people he likes and respects' are not fans of President Trump.
The British-born presenter was asked on the 'The Late Show' by host Stephen Colbert for his assessment of the President's state visit to his home country.
In comments likely to alienate Trump supporters, Corden mocked the President for his knowledge of Brexit and his behavior in front of the royal family - despite the visit being widely viewed as a success.
When asked about 'our President' by Colbert on Wednesday night's show, Corden distanced himself from Trump, by saying he was not a US citizen.
The comedian, who presents 'The Late Late Show,' grinned and added: 'He's not my President, he's very much yours.'
He then went on to say that people in the UK feel 'exactly as they do here' about Trump, whose visit included a state banquet with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
'I'm sure a very vocal, sort of far-right group of people think, "Yeah, this is absolutely right",' Corden explained.
'And then there's probably all the people I know and all the people, all of the people that I like and respect are like, "What?! What are you doing here?"'
'What can they be talking about, for an hour-and-a-half? Is someone like, ''oh here's Queen Elizabeth II'' and he's like, ''oh this is Melania the third'', do you know what I mean, is that what it is?'
As a guest on the 'The Late Show' James Corden told host Stephen Colbert that President's Trump intervention in the Brexit debate was 'madness'

Corden also slammed Trump for wading in on the Brexit debate, arguing his intervention was 'madness'.
'And then I saw a thing that said he'd been talking about Brexit.
'I'm like, 'What is he ... Up until yesterday, he thought Brexit was the most important meal of the day,' Corden quipped.
'He doesn't know, it's crazy. It's madness, all of it.'
Trump broke with protocol before landing in the UK by publicly backing Boris Johnson to the the next prime minister.
During a press conference with current PM Theresa May he said: "It [Britain] wants to have its own borders. It wants to run its own affairs' when talking of the UK's exit from the European Union.

After arriving in Ireland yesterday, Trump the compared the Irish border backstop debate over Brexit to his own battle to get a wall built across the US-Mexico border.
'We have a border situation in the United States and you have one over here,' Trump told Irish Prime Minster Leo Varadkar.
Corden told how he respects Prince Charles, a longtime environmentalist, for confronting Trump on his climate change policies.
The 40-year-old added: 'What I do think is great - I do really, really have a great deal of respect for Prince Charles, which I did anyway of course, for kind of meeting him head on and talking about climate change, that is really a wonderful thing for Prince Charles to do because he's so passionate about it.'
Corden then explained why Trump should not have touched the Queen as she rose to give a toast at the State Banquet at Buckingham Palace on Monday.
Colbert asked: 'He put his hand on the small of the Queen's back or something?'

To which Corden replied: 'Yeah, apparently he touched the Queen's back, which is an absolute no. no... She's the Queen and there are certain protocols that have been there for hundreds of years about what you do and you don't.'
The actor and writer then told how he nearly caused a similar royal faux pas at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, when he nearly sneezed due to all the flowers in the church at a crucial moment during the couple's vows.
Corden, who was born in London, is set to host the 73rd Tony Awards on Sunday this week.
The chat show host has enjoyed a meteoric rise from his humble beginnings on BBC comedy shows.
He is most famous for having co-created and co-written BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey.
