Stephen Colbert Critiques Trump's Congressional Speech

During a special live edition of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert humorously critiqued President Donald Trump's recent address to Congress, which he characterizes as filled with 'useful lies.' Colbert mocked the theme of 'The renewal of the American Dream' and questioned its sincerity, suggesting he preferred to sign up for a different free trial. He also took aim at the Democrats' protests during the speech, stating their placards were an ineffective response to Trump's claims, and joked about the incident involving Congressman Al Green, who was removed for interrupting Trump. Additionally, Colbert highlighted the irony of Republican lawmakers cheering Trump for stripping them of their legislative power on immigration issues. Closing his monologue, he expressed regret for making viewers endure the lengthy speech, encapsulating it as another event where time could have been better spent. Overall, Colbert's commentary blended satire with sharp political observations regarding both Trump and the Democratic response.
