Colbert: Trump May Turn a Profit in Running for President

‘He’s used $6 million in campaign money to pay his own companies and families’

COLBERT: "The reason Donald was so red in the face-- well, scientists still don't know the reason. But the reason he was so angry was because yesterday, Hillary Clinton questioned his business record."
CLINTON [video]: "Donald Trump has said he's qualified to be president because of his business record. He's written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at Chapter 11."
COLBERT: "I did a humor! My advisors say that mirth is very humanizing. And we are enjoying it. Together. All of us together. And she's right. Trump filed Chapter 11 for three casinos. Though, to be fair, it's impossible to make money running one of those things. You know what they say about casinos, "The customer always wins." But while Trump may have lost money on his casinos, he may turn a profit on his latest business: Running for president. Because recently released fundraising reports show "He's used $6 million in campaign money to pay his own companies and families." So whether or not he wins, he could make a profit. We have footage of his top campaign advisor explaining how that works."
THE PRODUCERS [video]: "Under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit."
COLBERT: "Okay. That's actually "The Producers." You know, so it's funny, right, Secretary Clinton? Yes. Yes, yes. Yes, I love a good common cultural reference from the genre of comedy."
