As Donald Trump continues to rack up legal expenses and penalties, money that was previously used for campaign events may need to be reallocated. Stephen Colbert is concerned that Trump could potentially begin campaigning by personally visiting people's homes.
During an appearance on “Katy Tur Reports” on Monday, MSNBC’s Vaughn Hillyard acknowledged the potential usefulness of rallies in rural areas of states like Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona. However, he believes that Trump will likely be unable to afford them this year due to his substantial legal debts. Hillyard stated, “Don’t expect to see Donald Trump traveling around the country, as these events cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to organize. They are now in a difficult situation, whether they acknowledge it or not.”
Colbert humorously remarked on how Trump's already delicate mental state would be affected by this change, suggesting that he would have to resort to door-to-door campaigning to gain the approval he craves.
Colbert then humorously imitated Trump's hypothetical campaign stops, making light of how Trump might address citizens and mimic sound effects like “bing-bong” and talk about flushing the toilet multiple times.
In addition, Colbert pondered whether Trump's repeated complaints about being targeted by investigations are truly a witch hunt, as Trump often claims.
Colbert jested about Trump's potential as a witch and made lighthearted remarks about incantations and witchcraft.
The late night host then referenced Trump's tendency to make sound effects during his speeches, imitating the “bing-bong” sound as a parody. Colbert teased the possibility that Trump could be a witch and mentioned the former president's frequent grievances about being subjected to investigations. are The piece concludes by inviting viewers to watch Stephen Colbert's full monologue in the video provided.
