Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night time described how he set a verbal entice for Donald Trump ― and the previous president stumbled proper into it.
Trump this week attacked the “Late Show” host as “not humorous,” “not smart,” and ― in all caps ― “VERY BORING” after watching a PBS interview with Colbert and his spouse, Evie.
The previous president was fairly seemingly triggered by the one time his identify got here up within the almost 10-minute interview, which was when Colbert was requested if he would ever have Trump on his present as a visitor.
“I’ve had him earlier than and he was kinda boring,” Colbert stated. “So, no.”
On Wednesday night time, Colbert stated that particular phrase was a deliberate selection.
“He’s clearly upset as a result of I known as him boring, and I known as him boring as a result of I knew it could upset him,” Colbert defined. “Which it did, as a result of he’s so predictable, which is finally what makes him: type of boring.”
