Stephen Colbert went over Donald Trump's press conference yesterday on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and didn't hold back on highlighting some newsworthy moments.

Donald Trump addressed reports about the fallen soldier Sgt. La David Johnson. President Trump was criticized for the way he handled the situation and how he didn't remember Johnson's name.

The late night host mocked the President's response and compared him to Barack Obama. "Remember when Barack Obama would go on TV to brag about being able to read a name off a chart? I don't remember that."

Colbert even took it a step further and imagined Obama holding a similar conference and the imagery is terrifying.
