Colbert Does His Best to Take a Major Victory Away from America

At this point we may see pigs fly before we see Stephen Colbert go a night without trashing the president of the United States on his show.

After already targeting the historic meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, the late-night host decided it was best to attack Trump for another historic accomplishment.

Trump revealed recently that Kim had agreed to release the remains of American soldiers who perished in the Korean War — something one would think is certainly worth celebrating. Yet Colbert decided to play a game of “gotcha” semantics — to take away the accomplishment from both the president and the American people.

After playing a clip that showed Trump saying that “parents” and others had asked him to make the retrieval of the remains a top priority, Colbert blasted the commander-in-chief as a liar.

“So many ‘parents’ asked him. The Korean War ended in 1953. That’s 65 years ago. The youngest a soldier could’ve been was 18 — let’s say their parents were 18 years old when they were born, which would make the parents at least 101 years old,” said Colbert. “He is saying so many 101-year-old couples asked him for this. Trump isn’t bending the truth anymore, he’s bending the fabric of space/time. My father-in-law served during the Korean War. If his parents were alive, they would be 127 years old. Or, as we call them here at CBS: ‘the target demo!’ Welcome! Welcome!” Colbert said.

He also slammed the president for complementing Kim Jong-un in various interviews.

The American people are utterly tired of this. It’s boring, it’s partisan, and it’s divisive.

Trump’s meeting with Kim has already led to some big victories for the country — and it may very well lead to a more peaceful world. Hollywood leftists like Colbert clearly do not care about such things.

They will spin the news over and over and over — until it conforms to their myopic worldview.

But the American people are utterly tired of this. It’s boring, it’s partisan, and it’s divisive.
