Calling Trump, “a damaged human being,” the former Late Show host referenced Trump’s apparent mocking of Times reporter Serge Kovaleski — who suffers from a congenital condition — and said that he incorrectly assumed people would distance themselves from the republican nominee after that incident.

And that’s what I thought would happen. Because if you can do that in a national forum, that says to me that you are a damaged human being. If you can do that, and not apologize, you’re a person to be shunned.

Letterman believes people were initially entertained by Trump, which allowed him to remain in the race and ultimately defeat his 16 republican primary challengers.
