Trump Sics Military On Peaceful Protesters And Clergy To Make Way For Bible Photo Op
On Monday, the President of the United States ordered military police to fire on peaceful demonstrators assembled outside the White House, including church clergy members, so he could walk to St. John's Church to pose with a Bible for the most bizarre and pointless photo op of this presidency to date. #Colbert #StephenAtHome #Monologue

World: "Is that your President?" US: "It's a president."
No. No it isn't.
BWAHAHAHA!
That was good, I needed that laugh today! Thanks for that one 😂😂😂😂😂
It's less a president and more a sad, old, washed-up businessman who took a publicity stunt too far and got in _way_ over his head. Now he's just desperately flailing to try and save face as the world realizes how pathetic and useless he really is.
We don't have a president
I"m surprised he didn't burst into flames when he held that bible.
Julie Kersten Or struck down by lightning!
That’s what the glove was for! 😂
Maybe someday you'll realize that it's because gods don't exist and superstition carries absolutely no magical power whatsoever.
Lol 😆
Oh my goodness I just came to say that very comment. Great minds think alike.
Does it constantly blow anyone else's mind that this is real life
We were warned not to accept this as normal.
Yes. I was a kid in the 60s. Could never imagine this happening in my 60s.
It’s gonna be okay... it’s gonna be okay... say it with me ... it’s gonna be okay ...
It’s ridiculous
It is mind blowing that this shithole country is so delusional to think we ever were or ever will be great! Every positive move to fix problems, is met with more oppression.
He clenched that Bible as if he were terrified that it would open and one word of love, peace, or worse - mercy - may have spilled onto his dinky mitts. What a total schmuck.
I think he was afraid he'd burst into flame! 💥🔥😳🔥💥
Dude couldn’t even site a Bible verse
@@SquirrilahFish Buddy, many christian practicants don't the Bible. The ones who do are either the clergy ( because it's their "profession"), the extremist who quote the Bible to support / justify the wrong views of the world and the wrongdoings that derrick from that or the charlatans who use it to project a false image to gain confidence.
The latest addition to the never ending list of “What would Republicans do if Obama did this?” Hypocrites, the whole lot of them
Shoot people. It’s not even a big leap.
The really scary thing is that as I went under the comment sections of some other coverage of the event, there's actually quite a number of people believeing all this is somehow Dem's fault and some are even saying Trump should be a dictator so he can stop and Demcrats and their "evil agendas". I'm at a loss for words right now.
@@Sunnyboy-ob4xz that's how Hitler reigned with like minded and uneducated people to worship him.
To me they are worst than Trump - Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mitch and all of those spineless hypocrites. They all need to go.
@@Sunnyboy-ob4xz those are Russian agitators whipping the repugnicans into a frenzy. Scary? Not as scary as the fact that the Russians played the Electoral College to get Donald "Jim Jones " Drumph put in office. THAT'S SCARY!! Tripolar cause Mania and Depression aren't Enough.
Man...Trudeau’s silence speaks volumes. It’s like I was saying today, you might know what you want to say, but it’s a matter of how you want to say it.
Yeah also, Pierre Elliott Trudeau marched on Montréal with soldiers during the October Crisis of 1970 to target and persecute the French Canadian minority... So yeah Justin Trudeau can't say anything because he can't rewrite history and doesn't want to drag his own father. Lol
Is that your president ? Americans : that’s a president

@Darren A if he was proven a traitor hed not be in office. idk wtf you're talking about. but you shouldnt speak and make such statements without posting sources and valid information.
My answer would be NO.
@@faint688 He's talking about tRump colluding with the Russians. If we had a working Senate he would be in jail right now.
I'm far from a Justin Trudeau fan, but even I have to give him props for that long pause that let everyone know what he really thinks/wanted to say before coming up with a diplomatically acceptable line.
Seriously, Trudeau wanted to say more but you don't bite the hand that feeds you.
The fact its admirable to see a politician who is geniunly shocked and horrified by all this even if they don't have the guts to stand up to them, says way more then it should
@@alainarchambault2331 who's hand is feeding who? Explain this to me pal!
Trudeau is the worst lmao
@@nickbullock5510 We have 70% of our trade with the US. That hand. The hand that already declared us a Hostile Entity before slapping steel and aluminum tariffs on us.
using religion as a shield...it's one of the most disgraceful thing a man can do..
He called for the harm of innocents so he could. It's already more disgraceful.
Beni Irama He must’ve been posing with his very own bible, doncha think?
@@UlshaRS I dont support Trump but he probably had the protesters cleared for his safety, if the protesters saw him they would probably attack him
He stole the bible out of a hotel room.
@g0679...It's a bible, he said. It turns out that dear daughter brought it to him to hold.
To our National Guard and active military : You have the right to refuse an illegal order. You have an obligation to refuse an illegal order. Please take a knee because it is the right thing to do. We are truly at the turning point of losing our country to a dictator. Take a knee.
Lol this soldier love the action and white supremacist
john smith The protestors that were cleared in Washington weren’t doing any of those things. At least certainly the vast majority of them 👍🏻
My heart is broken. I am a peaceful protester and I was holding my #blacklivesmatter protest sign out of my window. someone threw a full water bottle as hard as they could at my face. It hit my arm and missed my head, but still..... then they just drove away. I have never felt prejudice before, but I'm getting a little taste now. I won't stop voicing and exposing the injustice I see all around me, but wish me luck. It seems the police and the white nationalists don't care if they hurt us, even if we aren't doing anything wrong. And they won't get in trouble for it. I have been in tears all day. I'm so sad that it's come to this. I'm terrified we're headed for a fascist nation.
@john smith do people that think it is a good idea to send in the military have a plan for how they will protect their teenage daughters from groups of 20 year old incels who consider themselves to be the law?
@@ashleydavies6566 Video from just before and during the "clearing" it was shown that not a single one, not ONE of the protesters were violent at all. They didn't throw anything and didn't even yell anything. And since sometimes it's hard to decipher tone or intention with posts online, I want to verify that I am not trying to counter Ashley's post, but back up her statement and add that it was not just the vast majority, but every single one, so far as anyone can see from the video. And john, it is ILLEGAL as in Constitutionally illegal to use the military for domestic law enforcement. "it's all destroyed and somehow you think that's just great?" Not one person said anything like that. But you're good at claiming lies as facts. In fact you made that very same claim of "You all" thinking terrible things are great, or good, when no one said that or even referenced those events to be able to say they were good and great. By that same standard, I could just as easily state that you think Hitler killing all those Jews was the greatest thing in history. Sure You never even said anything about it, and I'm not only bringing the subject up on my own, but stating you thinking things that you never even indicated, but I learned it from watching you dad. I learned it from watching you.
The church sign behind him reads “All are welcome.” It clearly doesn’t include his allies, the peaceful protesters.
Too bad the few peaceful protestors are overrun by Antifa and BLM thugs.
Concerning Trudeau. Last year, in reply to some opposition parties calling to release the army on the blockading First Nations, he answered, " I flatly refuse to send the Canadian army against Canadian citizens." Trump could learn from Trudeau.
@@fireflowermtnwmn2307 wth are you talking about?
Twenty two seconds of stunned silence. There are no words to describe how he feels and a totally awkward question. Isn't it obvious how he and the whole world are feeling about this. Stunned silence.
I love your profile pic so sweet🙏🏼💖
If trump is re-elected - I’m asking Canada for political refugee status.
I thought there was some sort of delay, like there was some setup where the question had to be relayed to him via an intermediary or something, or he had to wait until the question was repeated in French or something. But it was actually that long a delay?
@@lordlacolith Yep. It really was.
Cindy Clemmons “That’s my thoughts? “🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I am Canadian and i am truly scared for your country and those trying to instil a positive change. I really am.
Thank you. It's comforting to know you stand with us in hearts and minds.
Me too.
@Java Monsoon do you take a stance on anything? Do you have real opinions? Went on some of your posts, you seem slightly shell-shocked💥💣, do you have #ptsd or shrapnel in your keester🍑
Don't forget Philando Castille, we had a chance here 4 years ago when he was killed by a trigger happy cop who got off. Now George. We need to have better accountability. 😢 My friend will never have her happy ever after. R I P Phil & George.
And you didn't even show the worst of the footage. Those guys attacking with the big shields were like something out of a dystopian nightmare. Even blatantly repeatedly bashing a news cameraman just holding his camera
Imagine being the Prime Minister of Canada being asked to comment on the actions of a vicious, unstable and volatile President knowing that the slightest wrong word could result in billions of dollars loss to the economy coming from a vindictive reaction. Dam right he needs to take some time to make sure he doesn't say something that will irritate Trump. The long pause speaks volumes about what he probably wanted to say.
You could see him thinking. His microexpressions are so overwhelming. I felt the pain. We are walking on eggshells to appease a narcissistic war-happy manchild.
People criticize his pause but for someone so silver-tongued his pause means a lot Edit: I do wish they kept the part where he acknowledges our police brutality too - though I suppose that doesn't fit the narrative of the joke
Exactly, everyone is acting like Trudeau is dealing with a completely sane individual. He has to be extremely careful when saying anything with regards to what Trump does. Any false move and he will no longer be cooperative about keeping the border closed or anything else for that matter. This is the same guy who cut off our shipment of PPE because he thinks they should get it first. Trudeau has his work cut out for him. I think he did well in answering the question. If Trump was in that position he would have told the reporter off.
Touche!
Trudeau has no clue how to reply without his normal talking points provided by his handlers.
Imagine if he mobilised all available federal and civil resources to deal with covid 19
Or fix the US's failing infrastructure and solve the dirty water crisis.
Impossible! It will miraculously disappear! Right, and there is no such thing as gravity, it's fake news!!! Just what is he smoking?
No one talks about the virus anymore. That's old news. I didn't see looters practice social distancing.
All that military and police equipment has suddenly spawned onto the streets, every cop in riot gear... stockpiles of rubber bullets and tear gas. National guard turning up in shiny new trucks and surplus military hardware. 1033 program is offensive to think about when it got twisted to the point that police could skip surplus and buy straight from the military suppliers. While the hospitals for months couldn't get enough protective gear for doctors and nurses saving lives. That stockpiled respirators and equipment held by the CDC and FEMA were old, busted and broken, and that millions of US emergency funds were awarded by blind tender to people who never delivered necessary supplies.
Like he should have!!!
I’m surprised he didn’t stand there hugging the Bible. Hell, the man didn’t even open it. Doubtful he ever has.
"Battlespace"!? "Dominate"!? Mad Dog Matis totally dissed Esper for using such language / bad attitude.
His pause said everything he truly thought and felt. The words were a polite formality. Thank you PM, for finally giving us a moment of silence.
That pause is the most Canadian thing Justin has ever done. My mom always thought if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.
It was 21 seconds of silent mouring for the death of US democracy.
I think Justin Trudeau’s non-answer basically answered that question perfectly. He is speechless
I can only imagine how many things were running through his head that he wanted to say, but he was looking for something non-confrontational so Trump wouldn't decide to redirect his military boner towards Canada.
@Edward Roberts Trudeau is a leader. Bunker Boy is a coward that needs force to have some lame photo op that is not helping the UNITED States of America..
Easy on those Clorox injections Eddy. You don't want to destroy that last brain cell in your head
@@mudderofgod7762 I honestly think he's suffering from a stroke
he spoke by not speaking. Also, that's pretty Canadian of him. : )
"There is only one law... one beautiful law. And I am it."
Um, why didn’t anyone even ask him, “why are you holding the Bible?
My favorite thing right now is the President visiting these churches and the churches being like: "We don't want you here and we disagree with everything you stand for. Go away."
Except the Conservative Religious Right. As long as he keeps abortion illegal and appoints conservative judges, he can do or say whatever he wants that is antithetical to the gospel of Christ.
The church needed an exorcist.

@@rehemazabibu7493 too late! Sorry!
Stephen and Jimmy Kimmel have impressed me with their protest commentary.
Justin's long pause, was nice to see. He thought about, what he was gonna say. One could only dream, a certain orange man, would do the same.
Not gonna lie. Trudeau's emotions could be felt through the screen.
Yes and then he said Nothing to condemn Trump's actions. Trudeau's silence at the beginning can only be seen as tacit support of Trump. I watched the entire answer and he had ample opportunity to say "something". He didn't. Of course the Republicans also remained silent...
@@fords_nothere_100 say one word against him and be attacked mercilessly. They have determined it's not worth the price. The Republicans are cowards. Trudeau is just doing his job.
yes. he has Canada to protect and a madman can wreak terrible vengeance against us if our PM says the wrong thing. I think he did great actually considering.
" We must take sides . neutrality helps the oppressor , never the victim . silence encourages the tormentor , never the tormented . " Elie Wiesel , author and Holocaust survivor
He was definitely not neutral.
These events have gotten so horrific I get my news from comedians.
Omg . Me too & its really fkd up.
Same here. It doesn't make the news palatable but at least it makes it close to digestible.
Me too. At some point I realized watching the news increased my anxiety but if I heard it from Stephen it was with an amusing spin and also meant we had survived it.
I've been doing that for 3 years now!
@@sandymale1748 me too with the anxiety...
I appreciate that they keep in the bits where Colbert is getting ready to start the show. There’s an honesty that is resonating with me, that this is so hard for everyone and he’s showing that and letting us all feel it together.
Stephen...I would literally lose my mind if it wasn't for people like you! Thank you for making me laugh when I want to cry.
Our PM is exemplifying what we Canadians feel. We have no words for your President. Well none that can said in polite company 😂😂
Well, we Americans have LOADS of words for the POS in the White House.
agreed Cindy. I'm Trudeau fan but you can tell he's SSSSOOOOO holding his real thoughts in
Cindy Kidd I agree. Our PM rendered speechless in 2 official languages.
Yeah, I agree with all of the comments so far. I'm not a Trudeau fan but the restraint to not say what you really feel in that moment because of all of the implications of a wrong word choice or phrasing is something Trump should have learned before he entered the WH. That could have saved Trump so much trouble. And now the only way he knows to defend himself is the use of violence as long as he doesn't have to do it. He's a paper tiger. He can dish it out but he can't take it. And look out because his hate for the poor, blacks, Hispanics, well all minorities really is only increased.
If you can vote this November please do so! This man NEEDS to be voted out.
You guys need to vote if don't want more of this. Even if you have to camp outside the polling booths for a week. If they try any voter suppression stuff like not enough polling booths or not allowing mail in voting you need to protest just as strongly as you are now. Black lives matter but voting matters so that you can ensure that black lives & all lives matter.
"Coming Up On America's Got Dictator" omfg Stephen XD
“Religious leaders really liked seeing me on the steps with the Bible.” Since when is the President’s agenda defined by “Religious leaders???” I have FIVE critical words for this: SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I’m not sure any religious leaders supported his actions. Most are stating that what he did was abhorrent.
why even go there, the only religious leaders that have supported him are the usual far right politicized evangelical guys who never seem to actually speak on religion, but plenty on how they can meld church and state, all the other religious people are criticizing him.
You'll try anything to blast him wont you? 😂. Now youre trying to make what he did an issue of "separation of church and state" lol, go-head😂😂
Wasn't he supposed to eliminate gangs, MS-13, Hell's Angels, etc? I guess he found out it's easier to attack peaceful protesters than gangsters.
@ Sure buddy sure....
When my Dad was dying, the doctor would ask him questions to see how his cognitive abilities were. Whenever they asked him who the president (sic) was, he would say, "That a$$h*le!" I think if he were still with us, he would add an adjective or two.
God bless your dad. May he rest in peace
😂😁
I'm sorry for you loss, but i can tell your father had more intelligent than that a$$***3😁😁
Great comment. Thanks for the laugh.
The day before we moved my father to hospice he (a 77 year old lifelong republican) asked who the republican nominee was. When I told him it was Trump he used all his strength to roll his eyes and give a heavy sigh of disappointment. It was one of the last coherent exchanges we had.
Thank you ....I love the pause it speaks volumes
Thank you Stephan! For saying what we are thinking and making sure we know what's happening during all this craziness.
Canada views the situation in America with “horror”. Not much else needs to be said.
American people do also.
Us Canadians be looking down South like: "U good bro..?" 😶🇨🇦
Well clearly Canada needs more senseless horror, idiot violence, theft, firebombs and murder in the name of peace and love
Canada will fallow..police has been changing ,police is waring like military police,they are trained in Israel.I can notice the difference ,since the last 20 years !We are the 5-eyes nation ,whatever that should be like ,I hope it will be not like Trump ,great Trump's,America.
But your prime minister is too scare to say anything bad (except for the 20 seconds of silence) to our boss though. But all too eager to act "righteously" & follow to our boss' order against other "evil" nations.
He's never read the Bible or the Constitution. Even if he tried, he lacks enough awareness to understand either one. Sad little insecure man.
I don't think he even knows how to open a book.
Chad Clanton it's spirit messages. It's his special place. A burned down church. He s Satan.
I’ve never read either in entirety, and yet I’ve read a lot of other books and am not a narcissistic sociopath so that helps
he can't read, or comprehend text
Thank you Stephen! Keep up the good work!!!
Proven wrong yet again! The truth always gets out!

I just came from watching Seth's take on this. And goodness gracious, I am honestly waiting for the USA's own military, Secret Service, National Guards and police to turn on him. My prayers are with the American people.
Thank you, we need them badly in this time
From your mouth to God's ear. I try not to wish ill on anyone, but if he orders the military to attack our own citizens, it's defensive.
Thank you Late Show
Love you Stephen Colbert. From Australia.
Trump looks so proud of himself. It’s like he actually thinks he sounds cool. It’s pretty cringe.
Exactly cld see him control smirking thinking of the power he has !!
peaceful protestors lol. nobody outside of your brainded sheep echochamber are as brainwashed as you thinking this. hence why you elected a senile ped0 as your main candidate to becom them oster powerful man in the world. hence why you will get crushed as the clowns you are
I can't even listen to that devil speak anymore,he just disgusts me now
@Euls12 i can only listen to anything that thing says if it's done with Humor cause hearing him or seeing him on tv causes me to cringe. i have a rule that i can't have him on my tv longer than 10 seconds or else i think my tv will burst into flames
Euls12 RIGHT. I’m glad I am not the only one who is confused by that. I think it’s supposed to look... confident and smug? But it just looks like he’s trying to ignore an earache.
When Trump said: "special place" I thought he meant the toilet he tweets from.
That's where he creates hes best policies.
Or his bathing suit area....
my wife said the same thing! Lol. we were sickened to find out that the explosions we were hearing during the press conference or from the military clearing the peaceful protesters so he could walk across the street and get a photo up holding a Bible. I'm so glad that the bishop spoke up and blasted him
We ALL thought he meant toilet....
Thank you Mr. Colbert
Stephen Colbert don't you ever quit the important job that you are and have been doing. The world and this country desperately need people like you. Keep up the good work my friend.

Plague, Locusts, Fires, Floods, Drought, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Tornados, Killer Wasps, and Ebola-and now Yellowstone is rumbling. Add these disasters to Trump's F-ups and vicious declarations/executive orders and we may not last until November. We're definitely not going to last until Jan 2021.
I talked to my dad today. He's very much a Conservative, though he is also pretty bipartisan in his values, so he's nowhere near far-right. He's always voted Republican, he voted for Bush both times, he voted for McCain, he voted for Romney, and he voted for Trump. When Trump started his term, my dad quickly began to dislike him more and more; while he agreed with a few of his policies, he said that every time he opened his mouth, it really made him regret it. And now, today, he said something I never thought I'd hear him say: "I don't think I can bring myself to vote for him again." I asked him what changed, and he said "How can anyone say that they will use military force against civilians?" Neither one of us are big Biden fans, and I don't like that this election cycle is basically another "lesser of two evils" scenario, but Trump is only making things worse, and a Biden presidency might be an interim for something more positive later. For once, we hoped that he could have tried to sympathize with this horrible situation and spoke about unity, but instead he's doing things like this.
Tell your dad we respect his patriotism and other Republicans, myself included, reserve the right to vote across party lines. Tell him he's a man of strength and integrity and that's what really matters. And good job as a son or daughter for honoring your dad.
If your dad is Republican he's part of the problem
@@frankmaitland2569 yup. knee-jerk republican voting is exactly how and why people like Trump can come to power to begin with. it's all about authoritarianism. theauthoritarians.org/

These past few election cycles have just really brought out the worst of both political parties the only difference is the far rights worst traits are a bit more over the top and a currently pressing issue. As someone who is seen as more on the left than the right I really wonder, why can't people just learn to take the middle road?
fireshadowblade9 Glad you and your dad taking off your blinders.
The Great Crested Flycatcher calling in the background during Trudeau's silence just adds to the ambiance.
I find it noticeable that Stephen did a Sign of the Cross after making jokes of 45's parodic perspective over religion; it would be seen as blasphemous on his part. It's a subtle reminder that Stephen is a devout Roman Catholic, he can recite Latin verses and their meaning and other trivia by memory, and is so well-versed that he teaches Sunday school. And all of that should inform the viewer the disgust and shame he must be feeling for 45 to appropriate the symbols of his faith for a cheap photo op and to enact violence on peaceful protesters while simultaneously wrecking the 1st amendment.
Damn this is deeeeeeep
@@kyleking3839 It helps that I was raised Catholic; I outgrew it when I became an adult (only went to church on holidays for family reasons) as I was never particularly religious but believed faith, spirituality, and just being a good person could be derived by many things. Nevertheless, when Stephen did the Sign of the Cross, things just clicked as old habits and rituals resurfaced and he's telegraphing to the audience EXACTLY how he feels.
It is blasphemous. It is the heart which counts in life. He is spreading gossip, being disrespectful, not being a good example for others.
Trump: “I am the President of law and order!” If that’s the case why the hell does he break so many of them? Thanks Republicans for keeping him in office and preventing him from facing any consequences of his actions. You all share responsibility for anything that happens.

Why aren't more people riffing on the fact that in his publicity shot, he held the Bible backwards and upside down? I really hope that if you didn't notice before, you can't unsee it now, especially if you're still supporting the mad mango.
I saw it. Just proves he is the anti-christ.
Because he didn't. Not a single religious leader I've heard so far has commented on it. You would think one of them would, right? Where is this picture, because I can't find it. Is it part of the camera footage that rolled, or a picture? I'd actually like to see it. The bookmark is SUPPOSED to be that way. It's glued to the top of the binding and dangles down. The spine is facing leftward. If it were upside-down, the bookmark would be at the top. If it were backward, the bookmark would be in the lower right-hand side of the book. Not all Bibles have HOLY BIBLE actually stamped on the front. The one I pulled out for reference, and positioned the way his was positioned, does not have print on the cover. I keep hearing about this, and I honestly want to see this upside-down photo. If I'm incorrect, please correct me. But this looks like every Bible I used to see when I was herded to church for years and years. Disclaimer: I'm not a Trump supporter. I just keep seeing this posted, and from all available evidence, it's not correct. There's plenty else to criticize about what he's doing.
As a Canadian I feel like I'm a neighbor, watching through a window, unable to move or call for help ,seeing and hearing parents beating their children and the kids are screaming for help.... I feel powerless ,sick and heartbroken.
It means more than we can say to know that you are with us, paying attention, and sending love. It helps. ❤
Thanks, eh. (Thank you all for RUSH and Brother Neil;)
Thank you for your sympathy. It's nice to have good neighbors at least.
Although he’s not perfect, and that we do have our own issues to fix, I’m proud of my Canadian Prime Minister right now. His silence spoke louder than Orange Trump threatening and attacking peaceful protestors. « We have flown like birds and swam sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers » - MLK Jr. #blacklivesmatter
It was refreshing to see a leader stop and think before speaking
Dominique, I’m proud of him too. I’m American, and I like Trudeau. He seems like a decent human being who wants the best for you. What’s that like 😞
As an Albertan, I’m super proud of our PM
@@instanoodles It's quite dull when your leader's biggest controversy recently was ordering donuts at $3 each, and biggest meme "speaking moistly", at least as far as I can remember. Dull in a good way I suppose. Not to say there's nothing controversial policy wise, but definitely nothing flamboyantly comical.
Dominique The easy minimalist , I couldn’t agree more. ☮️❤️
You guys are doing a great job✊🏽Hang in there !!
One of my worst fears becoming reality, that the military might actually follow Trump's orders.
Today I'm proud to be Canadian. Trudeau is perfect representation of Canadian: very polite and very slow.
He is my nerd crush, wish he was my president 😢
Time for the police and military to refuse the dictator’s orders.
I doubt it... Most of the army will just say I follow orders because he's my commander in chief. This is no joke, I was talking to a military medic about Trump, that's what she told me even though I told her I don't want to discuss our different views about Trump. The military needs soldiers who never question their orders. Unfortunately, I am afraid the military will blindly follow. There are no check and balances left in this country. Our government is full of cowards who want to reap the benefits of being in politics. #VoteBlue2020 if we get that far 😢
@@kpepperl319 I remember some history lessons learning about when the world did not accept the excuse 'I was just following orders'.
But you know they wont. They are all power junkies.
@@kpepperl319 I concur with your opinion.
they’re mostly fascist they can’t wait to have fun with their toys hurting unarmed people
Right on!
Stephen giving us his all without an audience to give him feedback and energy is incredible 👏🏽💙🤣 thank you for making us laugh!!
Hey Melania...how’s that anti bullying campaign going?
I tink eets a vunderful ting. - melanias words
@@unknownunknown-wc1jj It be best.
If I was Melania, Trump would not be safe around me.
@bean01 yeah... I mean, why couldn't SHE be president?! Then she'd have the backing to divorce Trump! Their youngest (whats his name?) could live a good life!
This was hilarious! I love how Stephen Colbert calls out Trump’s bullshit in a very comedic way
This didn’t age well.
Thank you for what you're standing up for and speaking to this week. It would be great if you interviewed Bryan Stevenson and profiled his amazing and long standing work through the Equal Justice Initiative too.
"She can only move diagonally" Okay, I'm done here, I'm dead. This man just killed me.
I so appreciate his humor so much in normal times but now I am extremely thankful!
I had to think about that one... chess move.
What time was that at lol
Takahashi Fujihita That was my favourite comment today. ☺️
Yup, got me there.
Nice to see Canada's Prime Minister taking the time to carefully choose what to say rather than >.
Trumps speech style is pretty much "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks".
That's a nasty question, you are fake news... Chyyna!
Can the peaceful protesters who were attacked with rubber bullets and tear gas for exercising their constitutional rights sue? Where is the ACLU?
Love you’re show Stephen Colbert 💜
You can make fun of Justin as much as you want at least he thinks before he talks . Can t be easy to deal with Trump .
Justin is coming out of this looking like a SAINT compared up Trump. Better a drama teacher than a dictator
No one is making fun of him without a lightening of his heart ... I bet Justin understands.
I don’t think he could have answered better but that clip is also hilarious, the pain in his eyes
Whats this all abute aye
@@bethanyconboy4481 You must be kidding..
This is what "using God's name in vain" looks like.
Boom!
This comment deserves all the likes.
Been waiting for this comment from someone...
BEST COMMENT EVER! ☝️
Yep. A lot of folks think it's yelling "Jesus Christ" when you burn your finger, but it's actually this. Exactly this.
This is hilariously funny. My favorite way, actually my only way, to get news of our President.
Thank you for your programme. Extremely educational. Taking military action against the Americans.
Melania's attempt at a smile is the saddest thing I've ever seen..
No, the saddest thing I've seen is American people being attacked by their own government for no just able reason!!
I think it’s the realest.
She always looks like she's sucking on a piss-stained lemon. No sympathy from me, she chose that guy and has done nothing but enrich herself.
@@lettylunasical4766 That and she looks heavily sedated. I really have a hard time not throwing up when I look at her face when she's not wearing sunglasses.
She may not be held captive in the sense you think of, but she still is. She may want to get out but she can’t leave him right now, it would set off a whole new set of issues that we just don’t need and she’s probably not allowed to. It’s so so sad and heartbreaking 💔
Is no-one gonna address the fact that he was holding the bible upside down?
Or that they took it without asking.
He prefers the book called the elpip over the bible.
How would he know; he can't read.
He has never and will never treat any object of religion with anything but a sense of disdain lest the moment call for a pretense of reverence, which he is incapable of faking. If plenary indulgences hadn't been banned by the church centuries ago he would have added that to his long line of failed con products.
we're lucky he didn't dry hump it like he did with that flag.
I had to come back again to watch this. Colbert has me dying on this one.😂😂😂😂
Seriously, I thought Trump's special place was the toilet.
I thought so too, since he is apparently incontinent and wears a diaper? Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Is anyone actually going to be surprised if he soon will show up in a military uniform?
I will be, though I highly doubt they can find a uniform in his size.
Kevin Heller with all the medals he can get his hands on pinned to his chest including a dozen Purple Hearts, Idi Amin, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and every other dictator throughout history all rolled into a trump. There has never been a person who wants to become a dictator more than this man and if and when he does I pity you guys living in America because he is going to eradicate all his supposed enemies.
His red hat and golf shirt is his uniform.
With a haircut like Kim Jong Un.
Spacforce Uni. Lol
Damn, his wife looks REALLY pissed off. So much so that she either can't, or won't, put on a fake smile..
i waiting for her, "I don't care...do you?" ensemble
She has forgotten how. The last time was 14 years ago after Donnie demanded "WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU?!!" It was either smile and say "yes" or a quick abortion and back to the sh*t-hole country for her.
She's a gold digger. She never wanted to date him but since trump launched her career, she married him.
She's probably afraid. So is he, hence all his posturing.
@@MustafaAli-lb8dq You can be a gold digger and still have social consciousness...
I love you, Stephen!
Totally a threat!!! And now what???
Imagine if he was willing to go this far to help fight corona virus...
What, across the street?
I am surprised the secret service permitted him to venture into that area before the church. Hundreds of protesters, many probably with Covid19 were all over that area for days. In the white house, everyone gets tested daily whose around him. Now dozens of people from his staff were exposed to areas that hadn't been disinfected so he could take a picture with a bible. Was even a bible for that religion? I bet you ten dollars that at least one of his people comes down with the virus this week.
Well, he can't tear gas and shoot a virus, his dick only gets hard if he gets to hurt people.... Hurting animals just doesn't do it for him anymore.
Ooh. Good one!
@@nixiebristow8644 He's worse than a virus. So, I pity the virus!
Everyday I am even more thankful that I am Canadian and that I get to live in a country where the head of government thinks before he speaks, even if he needs to think for 22sec...better to be thoughtful than thoughtless.
Beck Cetera Me too. Trump is terrifying. 🍁
Amen to that!!!!
Thank you. Keeping up for no idiocracy
Who’s here after this turned out to be a lie?
Oh man, that Melania smile. She could only manage a grimace for a few seconds. Never has there been a clearer example of "familiarity breeds contempt."
Could be the botox and the beta blockers, to be fair...
That's what Political Stockholm Syndrome looks like. She's trapped.
She cannot open her eyes beyond a squint. Every photo looks like she is trying to explode your head with her thoughts (a la Sheldon Cooper.)
I mean he's so gross. Was it worth signing up with that mail order bride service?...with her ironic anti-bullying campaign. How sad.
They should have asked him to open it on "Two Corinthians" then see him struggle and be exposed as the fraud he is.
Ole Buck I’m cracking up!!!😂🤣😂🤣 Yes, please let’s read from the book of ‘Two Corinthians’.... They should have asked him if it was in the old or testament. He would have lied his way out of that too. So Sad-
Or 2nd Timothy chapter 3
Touche !
Whatever animals were making that background noise after Trudeau was asked for a comment are the 2020 version of crickets. Unless they were actually crickets.
Putin, even in his wildest dreams couldn’t have imagined this .... or maybe he did.
Trump outdid himself beyond any expectations.
I think maybe you should look at a little History ? Putin and his predecessors are so far beyond what has happened here. Not to diminish the suffering or killing here, I don't think you have the slightest clue as to the Hatred and Brutality that has proceeded this time in History. Take a look back a ways before you make that "Putin in his wildest dreams" statement please.
@Terncote Short term for sure. Though long term depends on the end result ofc. If Trump actually sends his guys to start shooting in the streets, and in the end he has to leave office before or after the election , whoever leads America may have to answer to a population that has very recent and vivid experience of oppression.
Putin really got more than he paid for.
He's loving everything he sees. I wonder why?
