Donald Trump is nothing if not a showman, and his top campaign adviser said he plans to make this year's Republican National Convention "the ultimate reality show," noted Stephen Colbert on Thursday's Late Show. "It's an apt metaphor, because this year's Republican convention will be the series finale of America," he added. "I can't wait to see the In Memoriam reel for liberty." But the convention will be held in Cleveland's Quicken Loan Arena, which has been host to professional wrestling, monster truck jams, and freestyle motocross madness, Colbert said, "so this convention might really be fun." How fun? Well, Late Show put together a WWE-style commercial for Trump's Republican National Convention, and I'm not gonna lie, I'd watch it. See the ad below. Peter Weber
