‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Lays Into Donald Trump for 9/11 Comment [Watch]
Apparently, there have been more inconsistencies with Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's statements than many have realized. Actually, there have been quite a few, but Stephen Colbert spent a lot of time Tuesday night talking about just one.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Trump made the claim that Muslims in New Jersey were cheering when the towers came down. He said he knows this because he saw it and also claimed that there was video of it.
Colbert countered that claim and said that it was not true, but then again, is anything the Trump says true given his recent history of making unsubstantiated rhetorical statements in official settings?
But then he cut to a video of NBC that had newswoman Katy Tur awaiting an event and she said that she had spoken with Trump and he told her that "although he doesn't know where exactly he saw that video, he does know he saw it because he has 'the world's greatest memory.'"
Assuming that Trump did not realize how that statement seemed to cancel itself out, it does seem kind of weird that he can remember the video, but cannot remember where he saw it, despite his self-proclaimed "world's greatest memory."
"That's right," Colbert said in the segment. "He can't remember where he saw the video, but he can remember he has the world's greatest memory."
Colbert really turned the comedy on when Trump claimed to have been someone who is able to predict the future, citing his reference to Osama bin Laden being an enemy of the U.S. back in 2000. Of course, at that time, bin Laden had already been well documented as a terrorist for incidents throughout the '90s.
"It's like Trump has some kind of fifth sense that lets him see what's in newspapers and on TV," Colbert said with most comical mock of the segment.
