Stephen Colbertslammed Donald Trump for makingself-inflatingcomments and tweetsin the aftermath of the Orlando shooting, Tuesday night.The Late Show host attempted to make sense of the moguls controversial and vague suggestions that President Barack Obama is somehow to blame. Donald Trump refuses to be politically correct, and just to be safe, he refuses to be correct, Colbert said.
In the segment, Colbert tookTrump to task for his told you so mentality in the face of the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. This whole speech with its nativism, its fear-mongering and especially its self-aggrandizing in the face of tragedy feels like a new low, Colbert said.
It makes me long for the days when Trump was just bragging about the size of his penis. Donald, cant we just put the focus of your campaign back on your genitals? Which again, Im sure dontlook a day over 70Maybe, all of us can just get together and declare how big Trumps penis is.
As for Trumps somethings going on remarks that seemingly implicated Obama in some unclear capacity, Colbert employed aFigure-It-Out-Atron a chalkboard with words like Trump, Obama, Muslim and Bad Thing written on it to make sense of the GOP candidates comments.
First of all, before I figure this out, I got to think like Trump, so first, Im not going to take my meds, Colbert said. After making the appropriate connections from Trumps comments, the lines of the diagram form a swastika, a fitting analogous for the Republican presidential candidates Islamophobic rhetoric.
