“I do not know what’s going on, but I have shivers, I have nausea,” Stephen Colbert told viewers on top of his last live show of the week Thursday night. “It’s either the beginning of COVID or seeing 1,500 people without social distance, no masks or tests packed into the South House of the White House. I know Republicans like voter oppression, I did not know they were pushing it to extinction of voters. ”
While The Late Show host admitted that he skipped the third night of the Republican National Convention out of disgust for the constant lies of the GOP, he did tune in to see Donald Trump deliver his big speech on Thursday because “he is the president , and at this point the entire Republican Party. “
Colbert also captured the speech of the senior daughter of the White House and the American girl doll just after ordering ‘Ivanka Trump, who fought over the job’ next to the president when he signed nine pieces of legislation into law to combat the evils of human trafficking. ‘
“And then I saw him tell one of those traffickers that he wished her well,” the host added, referring to the president’s shocking remarks about accused Jeffrey Epstein maker Ghislaine Maxwell.
The president’s daughter concluded her speech with this simple message: “Washington has not changed Donald Trump. Donald Trump has changed Washington. ”
“She’s actually right, and that’s weird,” he replied. “You see, the presidency is changing the residents proverbially. It’s completing them, it’s aging them.” Colbert grabbed side-by-side photos of President Barack Obama at the beginning and end of his eight-year term, “The man at the left side looks like he needs to convince the guy on the right to give up his car keys. . ”
“But Trump does not do any of the things that make you angry or outdated,” he went on, “like feeling concerned about the American people or responsibility for protecting them or apparently something else.” Showing how small Trump is at four years old, he added, “I think it’s true what they say: Taxidermy does not burst-a-dermy.” And then, “The last four years are like Trump Dorian Gray and we are the picture!”
From there, Colbert turned to Trump’s speech, in which he attacked Joe Biden without hesitation, calling him a “destroyer of American greatness.” In response, the host retorts, “Wow, for a sleepy guy who doesn’t leave his basement, Biden is pretty productive.”
If there was one line of address that the host agreed with, it was when Trump declared, “Americans are exhausted.”
“Yes, we are, after listening to you for 70 minutes,” he said. “But in the end, it’s over, after four nights of boneless nonsense from America’s top trash bag.”
