Colbert nails Trump: “He’s my old character with ten billion dollars,”
Hes my old character with ten billion dollars, Colbert said Sunday on CBS Face the Nation.
Hes completely playing on an emotional level, and so beautifully. I mean, thats one of the reasons why I just cant do that old character anymore, because hes doing it better than I ever could because hes willing to drink his own Kool-Aid. And manufacture and distribute it because hes got all the cash.
The Late Show host made his comments during a sit-down with fellow CBS host John Dickerson. Colbert also pointed out that Trump doesnt let facts get in the way of his message.
Hes this very interesting like Frankenstein of the idea that um, facts dont matter and only money does.
Despite the criticism, Colbert went on to say he does respect Trumps ability to connect with his audience.
I have a respect for Trump for knowing who the real audience is. That if you really wanna win you gotta get the people, he said.
The people get to make the call. Especially now because the parties are so beholden to big money. That the party apparatus itself has been dismantled in favor of just cash. And so there arent, you know, wise old people who get to make the call because thats been farmed out to Super PACS who dont seem to be that powerful themselves really, but in giving the power over to the Super PACS theyve actually completely defanged the party themselves.
