On Monday's episode of The Late Show, Colbert started with a surprise: He suggested, per former President Abraham Lincoln's advice, that Americans just "shut up and take" Trump's "alarming behavior" until he's out of office. "Does anyone feel like just taking it?" The audience roared back with a resounding "No," and Colbert responded with "me neither."
