Colbert: Trump’s Tax Plan Makes Him Look Like He Won at ‘Powerball’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: " -- but it looks like trump is-- how should i put this? lying. because, based on the last trump tax return we know anything about, this plan "would have saved him $31 million in taxes." that's $31 million to himself. those are lotto numbers. i mean, that's not just powerball, that's "i'm in powerball." ( laughter ) even though the g.o.p. tax plan will benefit only the wealthy few, they're pitching it to everybody else. see if you can guess what group senate republicans are trying to court with this message from south carolina center tim scott >> i like to put it very simple -- we want to help you hashtag "keep yo' money." >> stephen: "keep yo' money," of course, was the catch phrase of the popular '90s show "yo! mtv tax." ( laughter ) it's not like senator scott is the only republican who could have delivered that message. they could have gone with the g.o.p.'s second most diverse senator, caucasian q. whitington iii. ( laughter ) ( piano riff ) but they already have him promoting the bill's original hashtag: "retain thy estate."
