Stephen Colbert Wonders if Trump Will Make It to the End of the Week
Stephen Colbert opened Tuesday night's "Late Show" with a withering critique of President Trump's press conference earlier that day.
“Even though many criticized how long it took, the president knew the right thing was to make a statement on Monday, be clear about who was to blame and then move on to the people’s business,” Colbert said before pausing. “I’m just kidding.”
Trump whined during his press conference that if the press weren''t "fake," it would have described his abhorrent Charleston statement as "very nice." Stephen Colbert's response? "[I]f you were a better president, you would've said something very nice."
Colbert mocked Trump's idiotic "all the facts" excuse for waiting so long to blame neo-Nazis by reciting a litenany of false accusations the president made previously about President Obama's birthplace, voter fraud and wiretapping.
The "Late Show" refused to let up, openly wondering whether Trump would still be in office "by Friday."
