Donald Trump is a busy guy. Currently, the Donald’s busy campaigning in South Carolina, where he hopes to land another state’s delegates hot on the heels of his New Hampshire win. Because of this, he isn’t able to partake in his usual rounds of talk show appearances. But thankfully, we are in an age of incredible technological advancements, and Trump is almost always willing to call in to a show that can aid in his marketability. So, call in he did to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Legend has it that the most important phone in our government, the one that will likely be picked up just before the end of the world, is red (and a rotisserie). Not Trump’s phone. This phone, while still a rotisserie, is orange, like Trump, and has his signature hairdo. It’s perfect for a Trump call and conversation.
When he finally did call in, hard-hitting questions were asked. Questions like:
“What are you wearing right now?”
“How do you like South Carolina?”
“How are you going to stop (your potty mouth)?”
This leads to a potential conspiracy theory discussion in which Trump claims that he hasn’t been using any curse words, but someone is then bleeping them out anyways, so people think he’s swearing, which is interesting to say the least.
But the real meat of the conversation came when Colbert brought up the current vacancy in the Supreme Court, and whether Trump would allow himself to be hamstrung by an opposing senate that wouldn’t want him to nominate a justice. In simpler terms, as Colbert put it: “You would let someone tell you what to do?” Trump acquiesced and explained that the senate had power in this specific case, which was met with one or two people applauding gently, but then the boos rained down on the surprisingly diplomatic answer. Well, diplomatic for Trump.
