The weird claim left the “Late Show” host speechless for 10 seconds in his monologue (that joke starts at about 3 minutes in):
Trump has used the same description repeatedly, routinely describing “big, strong guys” who start crying when they see him.
Last year, he described one such encounter in North Dakota.
“He was a strong, tough guy, and he was crying. He said, ‘Mr. President, thank you for saving America,’” Trump claimed. “I’m telling you, that man, he was tough. I don’t think he cried when he was a baby.”
Earlier this year, he spoke of a man who cried as he asked Trump to cut regulations.
“I don’t think he cried in his life, and I don’t think he cried when he was a baby,” Trump said. “He was crying. He said, ‘Sir, you give me back my life and my property.’”

Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
