Stephen Colbert is pretty confident we're all gonna die now

It took just a little over six months for President Trump to threaten nuclear war with one of the world's most unpredictable regimes, and frankly, I'm impressed he's held out this long.

Of course, Trump's speech promising "fire and fury" could very well mean the end of this world, as Stephen Colbert astutely pointed out on Late Night with Stephen Colbert last night.

"I don’t want to be alarmist, but we’re all gonna die," Colbert said.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Help.
