President Donald Trump held his first solo press conference on Thursday and the results were, to quote the always eloquent Fox News: "Wow, alright-y then."

Naturally, Trump's presser provided plenty for Stephen Colbert to discuss during his Thursday night Late Show monologue.

For example: "To be honest, I inherited a mess," Trump said of his transition into the White House, to which Colbert responded: "No, you inherited a fortune, we elected a mess."

Solid burn, Stephen.
