RUSH EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “Now, obviously, we know what happened in the past month that raised prices. ABC cancelled “The Bachelorette.” And in response, Trump attacked Iran. And the fact — I think that’s why — and the fact that Trump is ruining everything all the time has not helped his popularity. According to a new UMass-u-gov-you-spin-me-baby-right-round-baby-right-round poll, his approval rating has sunk to 33%. [Cheers and applause] 33! 33%! One third. That’s only one out of every three people! To put that into perspective, turn to your right. Now, turn to your left. Both those people are more popular than Donald Trump. [Cheering] You all did it. That was lovely, thank you. Trump’s other poll numbers are also pretty rough. On average 47.2% of Americans strongly disapprove of him, but there are still 22.4% & who strongly approve of him. [Booing] Who are you?! [Applause] "Uh... Well, I want gas to be expensive. I want the Kennedy Center blown up, and, I know this is a pipe dream, but is there any way we could maybe, maybe we can get Denmark to hate us? ’cause I also want the price of licorice went up too.” We were backstage going, what does Denmark make? Mermaids. Okay.”
