Donald Trump has given America a glimpse of how he’ll lead as president: in a drowsy state of mine.
In the latest installment of “On the Road to the White House,” Stephen Colbert discussed Super Tuesday 4 on Wednesday’s The Late Show. Tuesday will eventually be known as “Day 1 Year Zero of Before Trump Time,” Colbert claimed.
In addition to Trump winning all five states on Friday, Colbert also mentioned how often Trump has claimed Hillary only has “the woman’s card.” To Trump’s charge that Hillary wouldn’t get 5 percent of the vote if she were a man, “can you imagine electing a man named Clinton, come on,” Colbert offered.
Trump gets to say what he does because he has the man card, something “all of us guys get,” Colbert explained. The card allows men to get paid more, engage in mansplaining, and for white men, it’s also a “get out of jail free card.”
“Say whatever you want about Trump, and I do, frequently, after celebrating all last night, he was right back in campaign mode at the crack of dawn today,” since he called into morning shows, though he did so with a noticeably sleepy tone.
Trump’s more presidential tone of late sounds like him lying in bed, according to Morning Joe. Or he might be sitting on the toilet, which Colbert thinks is “Donald Trump just show[ing] us how he’d sound when he gets that 3 a.m. phone call as president.”
Trump’s leadership can be boiled down to “Trump 2016: You Asked Me to Do it, And I’m Doing It.”
“If that is Donald Trump at his most presidential, I for one look forward to his inaugural,” Colbert said. The segment closed with a clip of the voice of Cartoon Trump being sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts over the phone, though he was interrupted by Melania Trump making smoothies in the background.
