Stephen Colbert responds to Trump's weird tweet about the Emmys
Watch Next

So it turns out Trump's recent snarky Tweet aimed at the Emmys was not entirely accurate. Stunner.

On The Late Show Stephen Colbert dissected Trump's most recent Twitter activity. He seems to praise the President's online responses to the earthquake in Mexico and Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico. He's less impressed with Trump's Emmy tweet, though.

He points out the two main factual inaccuracies: namely that at the time of sending the Emmys had not in fact taken place the night before as the tweet so claims (possibly a severe case of l'esprit de l'escalier?), and that they had not in fact been the lowest rated Emmys of all time but the SECOND lowest. Woohoo marginal inaccuracy!

Trump absolutely cannot resist being baited on Twitter, so keep your eyes peeled for yet another counter-response -- especially if you're one of these "DEPLORABLES".
