While President Trump "waits for someone to convert the Mueller report into a finger-puppet show, he is keeping his thumbs occupied" tweeting about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Stephen Colbert said on Wednesday's Late Show. "Sanders did a town hall on Monday night on Fox News, which left Trump feeling burned." He read Trump's tweet complaining about Bret Baier being too "smiley and nice" with "Crazy Bernie" and asking Fox News, "now we have Donna Brazile?" "We?" Colbert asked. "Mr. President, on behalf of the American people everywhere, let me remind you: You don't work for Fox News. They work for you."
"Trump wasn't done stewing about Bernie," suggesting Fox News "stuffed" the town hall with "Bernie supporters," Colbert noted. Trump also predicted he will face either "Crazy Bernie Sanders" or "Sleepy Joe Biden" in the 2020 election, adding: "May God Rest Their Soul!" "Is he going to campaign them to death?" he asked. "I mean, sir, we'll let you get away with 'Lock her up!' but I draw the line at 'Dig the grave! Dig the grave!'"
