Following the tragic mass shootings that took place in Texas and Ohio, a number of Republicans rolled out a tired scapegoat: video games.
Despite evidence to the contrary, video games have often been singled out as a cause of violence in U.S. society. In a recent press conference, Trump put them in the spotlight once again, condemning the "gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace."
The Late Show, however, was not about to accept his statement quietly. In the Super Mario parody above, a little animated Trump jumps a goomba before being confronted by the Italian plumber himself.
Mario presents an important argument about video games and violence to the president -- put Trump simply jumps over his head and carries on running.
