Stephen Colbert also thinks Trump’s national emergency lacks a little, er, emergency

Seth Meyers slams Trump’s golf trip: ‘In a real emergency, no one goes to the omelette bar’
Late Night host Seth Meyers absolutely eviscerated Trump’s press conference regarding his declaration of a national emergency to build his border wall.
Tackling Trump’s speech delivered at the White House on Friday, Meyers noticed it was “less of…
Watch Mike Pence gasp when no one claps at his terrible applause line
Vice President Mike Pence isn’t a complicated man.
He likes Chili’s, using his personal AOL account for official government business, and gay conversion therapy. And so, when he addressed attendees at the Middle East conference in Poland on Feb…
A rambling ‘SNL’ cold open can’t make sense of Donald Trump’s fake national emergency
For Saturday Night Live’s latest cold open, Alec Baldwin put on his Donald Trump mask and spent seven minutes recreating IRL Trump’s sham press conference in which he unconvincingly presented his case for a fake national emergency. At least he wa…

Donald Trump is back at it again with the extremely un-presidential tweets.
On Friday afternoon, hours after he held a press conference outside the White House to announce he was declaring a national emergency (even though he didn’t need to) the president tweeted a parody State of the Union video in an effort to mock Democrats.
The video, originally created by @carpedonktum, shows clips of Democratic members of Congress at Trump’s State of the Union address set to that super emo R.E.M. song, “Everybody Hurts.”
The 2:20 video was posted to YouTube earlier this month and received more than 50,000 views, but it seems Trump just noticed — and it must have really spoken to him. Read more…

Stephen Colbert calls Trump’s national emergency plan ‘insane’
Donald Trump is set to declare a national emergency in order to unlock $8 billion in additional funds for his border wall, on top of the lowered $1.375 billion allocated in a bipartisan budget bill the president is also expected to sign.

‘The Daily Show’ sends Bricky, its border wall mascot, to troll Trump fans in Texas
Once again, The Daily Show has struck comedy gold.
Meet Bricky, a border wall mascot that the show sent to El Paso to talk to fans of President Trump ahead of his Monday night rally in El Paso, Texas. (That’s the one where a Trump backer attacked a BBC cameraman.)
The Trump fans didn’t disappoint — exposing a lack of humanity and a deep ignorance while parroting Trump’s talking points. From pointing out the flaws in plans to make Mexico pay for the border wall to fear-mongering stories about ISIS fighters being part of the caravan, Bricky let the pro-wall folks do the hard work for him.

Not nice: Trump just ruined 69 jokes
Rest in peace, 69 jokes.
It brings me no pleasure to report that President Donald Trump included “69” and “nice” in the same tweet on Wednesday, effectively killing the internet’s most beloved tradition. That’s right, folks: 69 jokes will never be the same again. Blame the president.
The Gallup Poll just announced that 69% of our great citizens expect their finances to improve next year, a 16 year high. Nice!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13, 2019
Trump’s tweet referred to a Gallup poll released earlier this week in which 69 percent of respondents said they expected their finances to improve over the next year. So the number can’t be helped. But it does raise a disturbing question: Does Trump know about 69 jokes, or is this tweet simply a coincidence? Read more…

Stephen Colbert rips into Trump’s tweets about his daily ‘executive time’
Ever wondered how Trump spends the majority of his days?
Well, according to a recent leak, a big chunk of his daily schedule involves something mysteriously known as “executive time”.
“He’s been particularly Twitter-rific lately which is no surprise, considering recent leaks revealed Trump’s schedule is 60% ‘executive time’,” Colbert says in the clip above.
“Coincidentally, executive time is also what Paul Manafort is serving.”
Colbert then breaks down some of the tweets Trump’s been pumping out — including the one where he responded to the leak by describing himself as “generally working” during these time slots. Read more…

Captain America just absolutely destroyed Trump’s latest tweet about global warming
A superheroes’ number one job is to protect the planet.
And while there are probably plenty of threats to a country like America’s national security, climate change has been identified numerous times as one of the biggest.
Not if you ask the president, though. Judging by his tweets, Trump is still treating global warming as something to joke about.
Well, it happened again. Amy Klobuchar announced that she is running for President, talking proudly of fighting global warming while standing in a virtual blizzard of snow, ice and freezing temperatures. Bad timing. By the end of her speech she looked like a Snowman(woman)!
