Stephen Colbert talks to Cartoon Donald Trump about Wisconsin, math
Wisconsin votes on Tuesday, and Stephen Colbert noted on Monday's Late Show that Donald Trump is losing in the polls. "This week, the tide seemed to turn against Trump," Colbert said, with his unfavorablitiy ratings climbing to historically bad levels, especially in Wisconsin. "That's what they say about Trump: Love him or hate him, statistically you probably hate him." Trump doesn't seem to grasp his bad numbers, so Colbert had Cartoon Donald Trump back on to discuss the polls and Wisconsin and, it turns out, the basic concept of numbers.
But Colbert and his cartoon creation couldn't resist slipping in a penis joke along the way. "Stephen, I guarantee I've never been accused of having a small font," Cartoon Trump said after Colbert explained that just writing numbers bigger doesn't make them bigger numbers. "Listen, seriously, there's no problem in that department. Believe you me, it is Helvetica bold." Which actually would have been pretty tasteful, if Cartoon Trump had just left it there. Watch below.
