When it comes to sharing his feelings on Donald Trump, John Cleese really doesn't beat around the bush.

On Monday night the British comedy legend appeared on The Late Show and spoke about the US President with Stephen Colbert.

"He says the British like him," Colbert remarks in the clip above. "Do they like him?"

"No," is Cleese's immediate response.

His biggest shut-down comes a few seconds later, though, when Colbert says Trump doesn't trust continental Europeans.

"He doesn't trust anyone in charge of a democracy, does he?" is Cleese's reply.
