There are some things in life that get old quickly, but Stephen Colbert reading out the President's tweets in his on-point Trump accent is not one of them. Even when the tweets in question happen to be very, very long.

In the segment above for The Late Show, Colbert takes a look at Trump's recent threat to close the US border with Mexico -- and what exactly it might mean for the economy.

"Closing the border would not be a good thing," says Colbert, before citing the US Chamber of Commerce's remarks that closing the border would be an "unmitigated economic debacle".

And that's before you even hear what it might mean for the avocado supply. *Shudder*.
