“Late Present” host Stephen Colbert mentioned he was in a fantastic temper at first of Monday night time’s present.
“This weekend was Father’s Day, and daddy acquired simply what he wished,” Colbert mentioned. “Nobody got here to Trump’s huge, silly birthday parade.”
President Donald Trump’s $45 million army parade held Saturday ― the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Military in addition to his personal birthday ― was marked by low turnout and even lower energy.
“After all, the White Home claims that 250,000 folks attended, so now apparently 1 / 4 of 1,000,000 folks seems to be like this,” Colbert mentioned, displaying a photograph of a sparse crowd on the occasion. “They should be actually good at hide-and-seek.”
However one second stood out: When Trump tried to put his pinky in opposition to the hand of his spouse, first girl Melania Trump.
“Rejected!” Colbert exclaimed as he confirmed the awkward footage of her pulling away barely. “That’s dangerous of her, not to reply to his pinky, as a result of as commander in chief, he may have declared a thumb conflict.”
