Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joked it feels like President Trump has been in office longer than he has as she compared his term to “dog years.”
Warren appeared on the “Late Show” Monday night with Stephen Colbert, where they discussed the last time she had appeared on the show. Colbert asserted it was before Trump had been elected president.
“I remember those days,” Warren said. “How long has he been president?”
Colbert responded that it had been 45 years, if his “bone density is any indication.”
“There were dog years, now there are Trump years, and boy, it’s going to be hard,” Warren said.
“Usually the presidency ages him,” Colbert said. “We’re the ones getting older very quickly.”

Colbert then pointed out Warren agreed with Trump occasionally after showing her a tweet from Trump saying Warren had acknowledged the Democrats “rigged the Primaries” as he called her “Pocahontas.”
“Donald Trump thinks if he’s going to start every one of these tweets to me with some kind of racist slur here, that he’s going to shut me up,” Warren said. “It didn’t work in the past, it’s not going to work in the future. Did not work.”
Warren recently walked back on past statements and said the 2016 Democratic primary was “fair” to both Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT. Warren had previously said the DNC’s process had been rigged in favor of Clinton rather than Sanders after former interim DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile revealed “proof” Hillary Clinton’s campaign had made inroads to take over the DNC during the 2016 campaign.
