COLBERT: “No, it’s still him. So, you gotta pay attention. You gotta... So, you gotta pay attenzion. Specifically, you gotta pay attention to what he’s doing now, not what he did four years ago, because it might be different. Hopes aren’t high, but maybe after four years in the wilderness, the humiliation of a failed coup and the criminal convictions, maybe this time we’ll see another side of him. Turns out, there is no other side. He’s two-dimensional. He’s fascist Flat Stanley.”
(Laughter)
And he’s got nothing new. Turns out, he’s got nothing new in that bag. He’s got nothing new to offer, even in a crisis. Take, for example, last night, there was a tragic plane crash over the Potomac. And I personally want to offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to everyone who lost a loved one in this terrible accident. Well, this morning, as 67 families were waiting in unapproachable grief, desperate to find out what happened to their loved ones, the president of the United States took the moment of tragedy for these people who, I am confident, are not concerned with politics right now to, without any evidence whatsoever, blame DEI and Democrats for the deadly plane crash.
(Audience boos)
One Reporter at the press conference asked this obvious question.”

[Clip starts]
Reporter: “I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash?”
Trump: “Because I have common sense. Okay?”
[Clip ends]

COLBERT: “No, not okay. No common sense, and no common decency. He blames everything on DEI. It’s his only game. The horrific fires sweeping through Los Angeles? DEI in the fire department. Violence in America? DEI in the police departments. Grocery prices? DEI chickens. ‘Folks, I don’t understand why all of a sudden we have these brown eggs! When did that start? You need the smartest eggs you can get in there, folks. I’ve never seen a brown omelette. Right? These are not the eggs that mom used to lay. That’s all I’m saying.’ So, it’s day 10, but already things in America are far from normal.”
