Colbert: Trump’s Running U.S. Like His Businesses that Have Become Insolvent

‘Trump is so desperate to have something to show for his first 100 days that he threw in funding for the border wall’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "Of course, this Friday, day 99, we may have a government shutdown if Congress doesn't pass a budget. And Trump is so desperate to have something to show for his first 100 days that he threw in funding for the border wall. Which may kill the bill and make the United States financially insolvent. So Trump really is running the country like one of his businesses. Despite estimates that the wall will cost $25 billion, Trump was able to negotiate a more competitive bid, right out of his ass. I think $10 billion or less. And if I do a super-duper higher, better, better security, everything else, maybe it goes a little bit more. "Super-duper higher better better." Sounds like Trump is either building a wall or a blanket fort." Bad hombres, no. No."
