Stephen Colbert brutally dissects all the words that Ivanka Trump uses incorrectly

Ivanka Trump has kind of a reputation for being a moderate -- the voice of reason in an otherwise nutty Trump administration.

There's only one problem, as Stephen Colbert points out in his Late Show monologue. She uses words incorrectly.

"She's got a ton of praise from the right for her poise and intelligence. At the same time, it turns out she doesn't know what words mean," Colbert says, referring to Vice writer Eve Peyser, who compiled on Twitter a list of all the words Ivanka doesn't know how to use.

In an interview, Trump says that because of her husband, Jared Kushner's busy schedule she likes to keep her "on a relative basis." In another occasion, she admitted to being "complicit" to her father's agenda. "Yeah it doesn't mean that," Colbert adds.

Ivanka also wished her 8-month son "happy birthday" and Colbert wonders: "Do rich people get more birthdays than we do?" But the winning comment goes to the infamous "otherwise" tweet: "That is a dumb statement in an otherwise stupid tweet," Colbert jokes.
