A very sombre Stephen Colbert responded to Pittsburgh's synagogue shooting on The Late Show Monday.
After declaring that "hate is not what America stands for," and praising the Muslim group which raised more than $140,000 for the shooting's victims, Colbert turned his attention to Trump's indefensible response to the tragic event.
"Naturally, in times like these our nation looks to its president for comfort and guidance. That's our first mistake," he said.
Of particular annoyance to the late show host was Trump continuing with a rally hours after the attack, where he claimed that he did so because the New York Stock Exchange opened the day after 9/11. That claim was in fact, false.
"Trump's instinct when addressing a tragedy was to lie about another tragedy," Colbert retorted. "I think lying about anything associated with 9/11 is a disqualifier for the presidency, or really, having any job."
On a lighter note, Colbert showed Trump's weird handling of an umbrella while boarding Air Force One, which we're all sure you've seen a number of times already.
"You can't just drop an umbrella when you're done with it. It's not a wife," Colbert joked.
