Internet in stitches as Stephen Colbert sums up Trump's legal woes in 4 words during late-night monologue
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Stephen Colbert provided an overview of the various legal proceedings concerning Donald Trump before delivering a succinct "brief public service announcement" regarding the former president's legal challenges on Late Night.
Expressing his dismay, Colbert remarked, "This is fucked up," followed by the display of a "The More You Know" graphic on the screen.
Stephen Colbert reflects on Trump's legal woes
Colbert humorously remarked that while February 15 seemed like an "insane day" for America, it was just a "regular day" for the current GOP front-runner.
He highlighted the significant court hearings in two of Trump's four criminal cases - one in New York regarding his hush-money case and another in Georgia concerning his alleged interference in the 2020 election.
Colbert debated the anticipation surrounding the verdict expected on February 16 in Trump's $370 million civil fraud trial.
Despite acknowledging the desensitization of Americans to Trump's legal troubles, Colbert emphasized that it's "not normal" for a presidential candidate to have to interrupt their campaign to defend themselves in multiple courtrooms.
“And I would like to point out that in all seven of his cases, no one, no one doubts that he did these things. We’re just sitting around patiently waiting to find out if the wheels of justice will grind fast enough for there to be any consequences,” he added.
Colbert continued, “And the media’s covering it like it’s any other political story, like it’s all horse race. But in this horse race one of the horses is old while one of the horses is old, has hoof-in-mouth disease and keeps quoting horse Hitler.”
