Stephen Colbert slams Trump’s new favorite term ‘presidential harassment’
Donald Trump has ramped up his use of a new, favorite term and Stephen Colbert wasted no time calling bullshit.
The Late Show host noted Trump’s use of the catchphrase “presidential harassment” to describe investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“Presidential harassment: It’s like sexual harassment, only the Republicans take it seriously,” Colbert said around the five-minute mark of Thursday’s monologue.
Colbert also noted Trump’s recent tweet reiterating the term, in which the president wrote, “The Republicans never did this to President Obama.”
“Have you been huffing the Aqua Net?” said Colbert. “We were all alive then, none of us were in a coma. All they did was investigate him — the IRS, the ATF, the ACA, Solyndra, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. They didn’t subpoena his taxes, can you guess why? Hint: He released them.” Read more…

It’s been 24 hours, so we’ve all had a little time to reflect on Donald Trump’s State of the Union address — including Stephen Colbert.
The Late Show host destroyed Trump’s speech one clip at a time immediately afterward on Tuesday, but on Wednesday night, he looped back to pick up one particular feature of Trump’s speech: rhyming.
“If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation,” Trump had said, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.
“That’s kinda cute. He threatened our democracy with a little poem,” Colbert said, before composing his own limerick: Read more…

Trump doesn’t believe a damning climate change study produced by his own government, something that truly perplexed The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.
Aside from telling reporters he’d read “some” of the report, which warns that climate change will not only impact global health, but will cost the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually, Trump referred to it as “fine.”
“Fine?” Colbert said. “If I had to describe this report in one word it would not be ‘fine.’ It would be a different word that begins with F.”
“As in if you don’t believe in climate change at this point you are fined in the head.” Read more…

So, we’ve heard the audio of the secret recording between Donald Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, but now there’s video?
Well, at least a video made by Stephen Colbert and The Late Show team.
The late night show has crafted their own comedic video accompaniment to the real 2016 recording aired by CNN on Tuesday.
In the audio clip, Trump and Cohen discuss a payment for Playboy model Karen McDougal’s story, in which she claimed she had an affair with Trump in 2006.
In 2016, the Wall Street Journal revealed that American Media — which owns the pro-Trump National Enquirer — bought the rights to the model’s story for $150,000, but didn’t publish it. Read more…
