“I’m not going to stand here, as an American, and let somebody from another country talk smack about our president,” the ‘Late Show’ host declared.
Stephen Colbert is starting to get worried that Kim Jong-un is going to steal his gig.
In an early clip from Friday night’s Late Show, the host offered up a rare defense of Donald Trump after the North Korean leader said of the U. S. president, “I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U. S. dotard with fire.” That statement came after Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea during his address at the United Nations General Assembly. On top of Kim’s comments, North Korea’s foreign minister compared Trump’s speech to “the sound of a dog barking.”
“Pretty sick burn on our president, to which I have to say, knock it off, North Korea,” Colbert responded. “You are not allowed to insult our leader like that. Sure, I’ve had my problems with President Trump, such as everything he has said and done. But I’m not going to stand here, as an American, and let somebody from another country talk smack about our president.
