The internet has already excoriated Trump for doing the least amount possible in response to the explosive devices sent to Hillary Clinton's home, the office of Barack Obama, and CNN's New York office.

But Stephen Colbert also had to say something about Trump's lazy retweet of Mike Pence, which added no more than a "I agree wholeheartedly!" to Pence's condemnation of the attempted attack.

"You're the president. There has been an attempted attack on two, two previous presidents today," Colbert said.

"This is the one time you can't think of your own tweet?"
