The Trump impeachment trial concluded in a predictably dissatisfying manner, leaving the "impeached forever" president in office to continue choking out the country with his tiny hands. Trump is now focused on retaliation against anyone he thinks wronged him, going on a firing spree despite Republican senators' requests. Unfortunately for them, Late Night host Stephen Colbert was unsympathetic to their plight.
"You voted not to do the one thing that could have taken him down," said Colbert. "That's like saying 'Now that we've gotten rid of all the town's silver bullets, that werewolf will really listen to us.'"
Democrats aren't doing too well either, with a poll in New Hampshire finding many would prefer a meteor obliterate all life on Earth over Trump getting a second term. "Hey New Hampshire Democrats, are you OK?" asked Colbert. "This explains why they've changed the state motto from 'Live free or die,' to 'Please let us die.'"
The Apprentice throwbacks aren't the only thing keeping the U.S. president occupied. Trump also took to Twitter to address a widely-mocked photo in which he looked like he'd been "bobbing for French fries." Of course, he claimed the image had been digitally altered. And of course, Colbert was having none of it.
"As usual, Donald Trump is lying," he said. "That's what he looks like. I've met him. Sometimes I wake up screaming."
