RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "Of course, Trump was busy all weekend, watching fox News. We know this because he tweeted: “Thank you to Brad Blakeman on @foxnews for grading year one of my presidency with an “A,” and likewise to Doug Schoen for the very good grade and statements. Working hard!” You’re the most powerful man in the world. Why do you care what the replacement weekend guy at Fox News thinks? Is this guy Brad Blakeman the person Trump has been trying to impress the whole time? “Brad Blakeman? I like to think of him as ‘dad hug-man.’” Also, Mr. President, you can’t start a tweet talking about watching Fox News and then end by saying you’re “Working hard!” You’re watching TV, you just said so! What’s next? “Just ate three cheeseburgers, and a filet-o-fish. Dieting hard!” I’m reading that wrong. Unless he’s just confessing. “Trump no like work. Working hard. Trump want watch TV.”
