Stephen Colbert calls Anderson Cooper out for muting Trump's tweets

Everyone knows the only way to manage frenemies on Twitter is through the mute button. It gets around the awkwardness of having said frenemey know you have blocked them, or unfollowed them.

No one knows this better than Anderson Cooper, who admitted on Monday night to Stephen Colbert that he has muted CNN's number one frenemy: the 45th President of the United States. That doesn't mean people don't tell Cooper when Donald Trump attacks him, but regardless, Colbert pressed him about what tweets are worth covering and what to make of the real-time comments from Trump.

But Cooper has an interesting point when he says, "I just don't want to have that drama in my life." Can't argue with that one.
