Stephen Colbert believes Putin is the reason Trump is already on campaign trail
Less than a month into his presidency, Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally on Saturday in Orlando, Florida. It may seem early to start preparing for his 2020 presidential bid, but Stephen Colbert believes he knows the real reason for the event.
During Friday’s Late Show, Colbert noted that, while it seems like Trump’s already been in office for four years, it hasn’t been that long. When discussing why the rally is happening, the host posited, “Trump can’t enjoy being president because the buzzkills in our intelligence agencies keep leaking that Vladimir Putin might be the real president.”
Colbert went on to explain that, to clean up the leaks, Trump is bringing in a New York billionaire named Stephen Feinberg, with the host joking that it’s “surprising that there is a billionaire that wasn’t already in Trump’s cabinet.”
See the clip below, where Colbert also makes sure to point out the name of Feinberg’s company.
The Late Show airs on CBS at 11:35 p.m. ET.
