Donald Trump is coming on Stephen Colbert's Late Show on Sept. 22, but Colbert is covering the 2016 election and on late night TV that means poking fun at Donald Trump — as Colbert has, repeatedly, in his first week. He started off Monday's look at the Trump Show with a knock-knock joke, and continued on with some good-natured mockery of Donald Trump's assertions that he will be an expert on foreign policy after a day of study, knows more about military service than many service members because he attended a military-themed prep school, and that he has the same personality he had at age 6, among other Trump-isms. You can watch below. Peter Weber
