Thanos reads out Trump's tweets and of course it works

Thanos also thinks he's a "stable genius."

Trump's tweets sound pretty natural coming from Thanos.

Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, actor Josh Brolin, who plays the genocidal Avengers: Infinity War villain, read out a few of the president's tweets in character on Tuesday night.

Honestly, it's a little too effortless, especially Thanos' version of Trump's "stable genius" tweet:

Although it's fun to watch Brolin read out the president's ludicrous tweets, it's a little unnerving to catch yourself picturing Trump wielding an Infinity Gauntlet.

Brolin was meant to be promoting his upcoming movie, Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado, but you can't blame Colbert for squeezing the last few drops of Infinity War promo out of the perpetual late night show good sport.

But however exceptional a job Thanos did at reading out Trump's tweets, it's still not as perfect as Andy Serkis reading them out as Gollum.
