Donald Trump's recent F-bomb on live TV caught not only the internet's attention, but also that of late show hosts including Late Night's Seth Meyers and Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

In the monologue above, Colbert plays the clip — during which Trump growls to the cameras that Israel and Iran "don't know what the fuck they're doing" — before throwing in his opinion on what the president was really thinking.

"Wow, he is so mad. And/or so projecting," says the Late Show host, before launching into his trademark Trump impression. "They don't know what the fuck they're doing. They're starting to wonder, I tell you folks, they're starting to wonder if they even wanted all of this. Sure they like the attention, but the job itself f***ing sucks. All they want to do is eat f***ing chicken and watch f***ing TV. And play a little f***ing golf."
