Colbert: Trump’s ‘Premature’ Reopening Is Like the Fire Chief Telling You To Go Back To a Still Burning House

‘Trump saying that he knows we’ve passed the peak is a little premature’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “That kind of widespread testing just isn’t available yet. The total for the country since the epidemic started is only 3.1 million. To put that into perspective— in its first ten days on Netflix, 34 million people watched “Tiger king.” Clearly, we have to turn testing over to Joe Exotic. So, without the tests, Trump saying that he knows we’ve passed the peak is a little premature. You don’t hear a fire chief saying, “I’m just eyeballing this, but I don’t see the flames shooting out your window as much, so everybody, back in the house.”
