Trump keeps griping about late-night hosts, and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have specific critiques
Stephen Colbert noted on Thursday's Late Show that former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (Texas) just became the umpteenth Democrat to enter the 2020 presidential race. "He did not get into a lot of specifics" on his first day campaigning, he said, but "we did get a sneak peak at his renewable energy plan: Generating electricity from the wind given off by his hand gestures."
Colbert noted that Thursday, for the second day running, Trump got up early "and complained about the late night talk shows," and he had some critiques of Trump's latest tweet. "First of all, sir, three 'very weak and untalented late night hosts'? It's not just 11:30 on network anymore. James Corden, Seth Meyers, Sam Bee, Trevor Noah, Conan, Desus and Mero are just as weak and as untalented as me and the double Jim-Jims. I mean, for Pete's sake, John Oliver is so weak he has to wear a hidden whale-bone strut in his jacket just to hold up his giant British noggin."
