Stephen Colbert rewrites the Boy Scout oath for the Trump era

The Boy Scout Oath reminds scouts to "help other people at all times," but that doesn't really seem to fit the Trump era. Maybe "buy a sex yacht" instead?

And after Trump's bizarre speech at the Boy Scout Jamboree, which fell somewhere between an unhinged campaign rally and a wannabe Wolf of Wall Street script, Stephen Colbert felt that in order to reflect the president's actual values, it was time to rewrite the oath entirely.

Say it with us now: "On my honor, I will try to make a tremendous amount of money."
